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 (Attachment Unit Interface) 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.

See the documentation for the type of Ethernet transceiver that you have.

3

Plug the transceiver cable from the Ethernet transceiver into the standard AUI port on

the Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter.
