Apple Workgroup Server 6150/66 - Manual (Page 32)

Connecting to an Ethernet network
The built-in Ethernet capabilities of your Workgroup Server 6150 allow you to
connect to any standard Ethernet network using thin coaxial (or “coax”),
10BASE-T twisted-pair, or thick coaxial cables; fiber-optic media; or other
standard Ethernet cables.
To connect the server to an Ethernet network, you need one of the following
Ethernet media adapters for the type of cables that your network uses:
m Apple Ethernet Thin Coax Transceiver
m Apple Ethernet Twisted-Pair Transceiver
m Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter
See your Apple-authorized dealer for more information on Apple Ethernet
media adapters for your Workgroup Server 6150.
You can connect an adapter and cable for an Ethernet network directly to the
server without installing an expansion card. You can find the Ethernet port on
the back of your server by looking for the Ethernet icon:
The following sections provide the basic instructions for connecting your
server at the end of an Ethernet network. However, your server can be
connected anywhere along a network, but to do so requires that you
temporarily disconnect the network, which could disrupt existing network
services for other network users. When you disconnect the network, work
efficiently so that you minimize disruption to other users. For additional
information about connecting to Ethernet networks, see the documentation that
came with your media adapter.
