PC Server 325 - Ethernets ports

Applicable to: World-Wide

Ethernet Ports:
The PC Server 325 Type 8639 has Ethernet connectors for 10Base-T or Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) devices. The controller automatically detects which port is connected to the network, and then uses that port for communication.

Notes:
- If the server is shipped with an Ethernet interface cable, it must be installed to comply with FCC requirements.

- The cables used in a 10BASE-T link segment do not require grounding. However, all of the devices connected to the cables must be grounded.

To connect the 10Base-T port to a 10Base-T port on a repeater, use an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Use a straight-through UTP cable when connecting to a crossover port (also called MDI-X port), and use crossover cables to connect to a repeater that is not a crossover port (also known as a MDI port).

To connect the AUI port to a 10Base-5, 10Base-2, or 10Base-F segment, use an AUI cable.
