Connecting to thin coaxial Ethernet

Follow this procedure to connect the server to an Ethernet network that uses thin coaxial cable. The hardware connection requires an Apple (or Apple- compatible) thin coaxial transceiver and a thin coaxial cable.

To connect the server to a thin coaxial network:

1Make sure that the server is turned off.

2Attach one end of a thin coaxial cable to one of the posts on the thin coaxial transceiver.

3Attach the other end of the cable to the last thin coaxial transceiver on the network.

A thin coaxial network must be terminated at the endpoints to function. An Apple transceiver is self-terminating. A non-Apple transceiver may require a terminator; check the documentation that came with the transceiver.

Note: You can connect the server anywhere along a network; however, to do so requires that you temporarily disconnect the network, which could disrupt existing network services.

4Plug the connector on the transceiver into the AAUI Ethernet port on the server.
