The Apple Ethernet CS II Card expands the
communication capabilities of models of Macintosh
computers that have a communication slot II (CS II).
The card is designed for networks that conform to the
IEEE 802.3 standard for Ethernet.

There are three configurations of the Apple Ethernet
CS II Card, each with a connector for a different type
of Ethernet cable. These are
m twisted pair
m thin coaxial (“coax”)
m AAUI (universal connector)

This manual provides instructions for all three
configurations of the card.

You begin by installing the card and then connecting
it to your network. You should also install the latest
version of the Ethernet software if a disk is included
with the card.

The Apple Ethernet CS II Card requires System
7.5.3 or a later version. For best performance your
system should have 8 megabytes (MB) minimum of
random-access memory (RAM).
