Connecting to other types of Ethernet

The Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter is a universal adapter that lets you connect the
server to less-common types of industry-standard Ethernet media, such as thick
coaxial or fiber-optic cable. If you are using the Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter,
you also need an Ethernet transceiver for your specific media type, and the
transceiver must have a standard AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) port on it.

To connect the server to an Ethernet transceiver for other types of Ethernet media:

1

Make sure that the server is turned off.

2

Connect the Ethernet transceiver to the network following the instructions in the

documentation that came with the transceiver.

3

Plug the transceiver cable from the Ethernet transceiver into the standard AUI port on

the Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter.

4

Plug the adapter’s power cord into a power outlet.

5

Plug the connector on the Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter into the Ethernet port on the server.

The server is preset to use the network software connection for Ethernet. You
can use network services as soon as you start up the server.
