Connecting to an Ethernet port using copper cabling

To connect the chassis to a 10Base-T/100Base-TX or 100Base-TX/1000Base-T Ethernet network using copper cabling, complete the following step.

Step	Action
1	If your Ethernet port is...	Then...
1	The chassis' onboard Ethernet port, labeled 10Base-T/ 100Base-TX	Push the cable with the RJ-45 connector into the onboard Ethernet port on the chassis, until it clicks and locks into place.
2	A 100Base-TX/1000Base-T NIC	Push the cable with the RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 port on the NIC, until it clicks and locks into place.
2	The following illustration shows a UTP cable with an RJ-45 connector connecting to a single-port 100Base-TX/1000Base-T NIC. Note The NIC is labeled 10/100/1000-TX; however, the chassis supports only 100Base-TX/1000Base-T.
