Integrated NIC Connectors
Your system has two integrated 10/100/1000–Mbps NICs. The 10/100/1000-Mbps NICs provide faster communication between servers and workstations and
efficient utilization of host resources, freeing more of the system resources for other applications. Both NICs support 10 Base-T, 100 Base-TX, and 1000 Base-T
Ethernet standards.
Both NICs include a Wake On LAN feature that enables the system to be started by a special LAN signal from a systems management console. Wake On LAN
provides remote system setup, software downloading and installation, file updates, and asset tracking after hours and on weekends when LAN traffic is
typically at a minimum.
Network Cable Requirements
Your system's RJ45 NIC connectors are designed for attaching a UTP Ethernet cable equipped with standard RJ45-compatible plugs. Press one end of the UTP
cable into the NIC connector until the plug snaps securely into place. Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ45 jack wall plate or to an RJ45 port on a UTP
concentrator or hub, depending on your network configuration. Observe the following cabling restrictions for 10 Base-T, 100 Base-TX, and 1000 Base-T
networks.
l Use Category 5 or greater wiring and connectors.
l The maximum cable run length (from a system to a hub) is 328 ft (100 m).
l You can find guidelines for operation of a network can be found in "Systems Considerations of Multi-Segment Networks" in the IEEE 802.3 standard.
