SysKonnect SK-98xx V2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
3 Connection of the Network Adapter
The physical connection of the network adapter to the network is described in this chapter. General
instructions for driver installation are given in chapter 4 "Installation of the Driver Software".
Transmission Distances
Depending on the physical media (cable) different distances can be reached for transmission with
the Gigabit Ethernet adapter:
Connection to the Network
Observe the safety instructions given on page 11. When hot plugging, additionally observe the safe-
ty instructions of the system provider!
The connection procedure of network adapters in Hot Plug systems may differ from the following.
For Hot Plug systems read the corresponding documentation.
In order to connect the adapter to the data network, proceed as follows:
1. If necessary, configure the port on the switch to which the network adapter is to be connected
(also see the switch manual).
2. If possible, disconnect the switch and the computer from the power supply.
3. Remove the protective plug (if available) from the switch port, which is to be used.
4. At one end of the cable connect the SC duplex or RJ-45 connector to the port on the switch.
5. Remove the protective plug (if available) from the port on the network adapter (fiber-optic types
only).
6. At the other end of the cable connect the connector to the port on the network adapter.
The port type (e.g. 1000Base-SX) on the network adapter and that on the switch must be iden-
tical.
