Integrated Network Interface Controller

Connector

Your system has two integrated 10/100–megabit-per-second (Mbps) network interface
controllers (NICs). Each NIC provides all the functions of a separate network expan-
sion card and supports both the 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet standards.

Each NIC includes a Wakeup On LAN feature that enables the system to be started by
a special local area network (LAN) signal from a server management console. Wakeup
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 an unshielded twisted
pair (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 fol-
lowing cabling restrictions for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX networks.
