2-4 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE ADAPTER
For both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T4 Ethernet networks, the
Fast EtherLink PCI adapter uses Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable. Refer to Appendix A for more
information on cabling.
Figure 2-2 shows the backplate of an installed adapter with
its RJ-45 connector.
Figure 2-2 Connecting Twisted-Pair Cable
The Fast EtherLink 10/100BASE-T4 PCI adapter is equipped
with an on-board transceiver for connection to twisted-pair
cable. To establish a valid 10 Mbps connection, the cable
must be connected to a 10BASE-T hub. To establish a valid
100 Mbps connection, the cable must be connected to a
100BASE-T4 hub.
Connect the network cable as follows:
1 Make sure that the connector on your cable is wired
appropriately for standard 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T4
adapters.
