Connecting to a thin coaxial Ethernet network

Follow this procedure to connect your Macintosh to an Ethernet network that
uses thin coaxial cable. The hardware connection requires an Apple (or
Apple-compatible) thin coaxial Ethernet card and a thin coaxial cable.

IMPORTANT

You can connect your Macintosh anywhere on the network;

however, to do so requires that you temporarily disconnect the network,
which will interrupt existing network services and activity temporarily.
Consult your network administrator before connecting your computer to
the network.
