types of fiber optic adapters: SC, LC, ST, and MT.

To connect a network cable to the adapter, perform the following

adapter.

Warning

The fiber optic ports contain a Class 1 laser device. When the ports
are disconnected, always cover them with the provided plug.
Exposed ports may cause skin or eye damage

.

2. Remove a rubber plug from the adapter.

3. Connect one end of the cable to the adapter.

4. Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate Ethernet network

port or fiber optic port.

Note

After the cable is properly connected at both ends, the adapter card
LED should be functional. See Table 1 on page 16 for a description
of LED operation.
