Actually, these new HP servers have three ports. Two Gig-E and one FastEthernet for management.
But the GUI doesn't even know there is more than one. It merely allows you to set a IP on the server - which luckily turns up on the first Gig-E port. There is nothing else in the GUI to set up additional ports (like eth1 or eth2).
