Apple Workgroup Server 8550 - Manual (Page 32)

Connecting to other types of Ethernet
The Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter is a universal adapter that lets you connect
the server to less-common types of industry-standard Ethernet media, such as
thick coaxial or fiber-optic cable. If you are using the Apple Ethernet AUI
Adapter, you also need an Ethernet transceiver for your specific media type,
and the transceiver must have a standard AUI port on it.
To connect the server to an Ethernet transceiver for other types of
Ethernet media:
1 Make sure that the server is turned off.
2 Connect the Ethernet transceiver to the network following the instructions in the
documentation that came with the transceiver.
3 Plug the transceiver cable from the Ethernet transceiver into the standard AUI port on
the Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter.
4 Plug the adapter’s power cord into a power outlet.
5 Plug the connector on the Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter into the AAUI Ethernet port on
the server.
The server is preset to use the network software connection for Ethernet. You
can use network services as soon as you start up the server.
