Apple Power Macintosh 8600 - Manual (Page 55)

IMPORTANT You can connect your Macintosh anywhere along a network;
however, to do so requires that you temporarily disconnect the network,
which could disrupt existing network services and other people using the
network. Consult your network administrator before connecting your
computer to the network.
To connect your Macintosh to a thin coaxial network:
1 Shut down your Macintosh.
2 Attach one end of a thin coaxial cable to the last thin coaxial transceiver on the network.
3 Attach the other end of the thin coaxial cable to one of the connectors on the thin coaxial
transceiver.
4 Plug the connector on the transceiver into the AAUI Ethernet port on your Macintosh.
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.
Next, see “Configuring Your Network Connection” later in this chapter for
information on configuring your network connection.
