Step 2. Mounting Media Cards to the NIC

Overview

Media Card Mounting

The 4100-6014 Network Interface Card (NIC) uses media cards to connect to other NICs. This section describes how the media cards are mounted onto NICs.

NICs connect to each other via the two types of media cards. The types of media cards in the right and left ports are determined by the type of wiring that is being used between cards.

Connect P1 on the wired media card, or J1 on the fiber media cards, to P5 (the left port) on the NIC.

To connect a second media card to the same NIC, connect it as described above, but use P6 (the right port) on the NIC. Note that any two types of media cards can be connected to the same NIC.

Step 3. Mounting Network Cards in the 4100U-S1

The 4100 NIC daughter card inserts into motherboards as follows:

If the 566-227 CPU Motherboard (default for 4100U-S1) or 565-275 CPU Motherboard is used, the NIC daughter card is inserted into connector J2.

If the 565-274 CPU Motherboard is being used, the NIC daughter card is inserted into connector J1.
