CNA-8000 Installation and Configuration
707158-003 1-9
Cabling for Ethernet
The Ethernet interfaces for the CNA-8000 each consist of an RJ45 socket. Plug a
standard Ethernet cable with an RJ45 jack mounted on the end, into the appropriate
socket until you feel it click into place. The Ethernet interface of the CNA-8000 will
default to auto-detect the speed and can be plugged into a switch or hub running at 10
Mhz, 100 Mhz, or 1000 Mhz. Note that the interface may be reconfigured to operate at a
specific speed in the configuration. The first two Ethernet interfaces come in the base
platform. Up to 8 additional Ethernet interfaces can be added through the addition of 2
Quad Ethernet cards. Numbering of those additional Ethernet interfaces is based on slot
positioning and are numbered from top to bottom, right to left as viewed from the rear of
the platform (see diagram below).
