Installing Asanté MacCon Cards

2-7

Note: In some cases with Thick Ethernet (10Base5) cabling
when your network does not have 10Base5-compliant Ethernet
transceivers, you may need to force the NuBus card to select
the AUI port by setting the JP1 jumper ON as shown in
Figure 2-5.

Note: To disable link integrity on the MacCon 610 card, set
the JP2 jumper as indicated in Figure 2-6 below. (For example,
hubs made before the 10BaseT specifications were published
do not support link integrity.)

Attach the daughter card to the controller card:

— Remove the two screws from the bracket on the smaller

daughter card.

— Hold the daughter card in your right hand so that its

components face down and the interface ports are on
the right. Hold the larger controller card in your left
hand so that you’re looking at the components.

— Connect the daughter card to the controller card at the

upper right corner of the controller card.

Caution

Handle the Asanté cards carefully so they remain plugged to-
gether. Be careful not to bend or twist the cards, especially
when they are plugged together at right angles to each other.
