Inserting the 3C319 NIC

Follow these steps to insert the 3C319 NIC:

1Insert the 3C319 NIC in an empty ISA or EISA expansion slot.

Make sure it is completely seated in the slot by pushing down firmly on both ends of the NIC.

2Connect one of the following network cable types to the 3C319 NIC:

Shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable with a DB-9 connector

Unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with an RJ-45 connector

CAUTION: Connect the cable only to the 3C319 NIC that you have just installed. Connecting the cable to other NICs could cause serious damage to them and the token ring network.

TokenLink Velocity NICs support industry-standard token ring Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP or types 1 or 6 STP cabling. These cables meet IEEE 802.5 specifications.

Do not daisy-chain token ring NICs or connect them back to back.
