Hardware configuration for Intel Ethernet Controller I350

[Manish_Kotni]

HI Intel Team,

I am using Intel® Ethernet Controller I350 (NHI350AM2 17x17mm Package). As it consists of 4 X SerDes/SGMII & 4 X 1000 Base T, I wish to use only 2 Ports of 1000 Base T.

1. Could you please help me to recommend the necessary things to take care from hardware design side for the unused SerDes/SGMII & 1000 Base T Ports ?
2. Is there any availability of reference Layout files for the same.

Thank you.
