Integrated NIC Connector

Your system has one integrated 10/100/1000 Mbps NIC (see

Figure B-8

). The 10/100/1000 Mbps NIC connectors provide

faster communication between servers and workstations and efficient utilization of host resources, freeing more of the system

resources for other applications. The NIC supports 10 Base-T, 100 Base-TX, and 1000 Base-T Ethernet standards.

The NIC includes a Wake On LAN feature that enables the system to be started by a special LAN signal from a systems

management console. Wake On LAN provides remote system setup, software downloading and installation, file updates, and

asset tracking after hours and on weekends when LAN traffic is typically at a minimum.

Network Cable Requirements

Your system's RJ45 NIC connector is designed for attaching a UTP Ethernet cable equipped with standard RJ45-compatible

plugs. Press one end of the UTP cable into the NIC connector until the plug snaps securely into place. Connect the other end

of the cable to an RJ45 jack wall plate or to an RJ45 port on a UTP concentrator or hub, depending on your network

configuration. Observe the following cabling restrictions for 10 Base-T, 100 Base-TX, and 1000 Base-T networks.

NOTICE:

To avoid line interference, voice, and data lines must be in separate sheaths.

Use Category 5 or greater wiring and connectors.

The maximum cable run length (from a system to a hub) is 328 ft (100 m).

You can find guidelines for operation of a network in "Systems Considerations of Multi-Segment Networks" in the IEEE

802.3 standard.

Embedded Remote Access Ethernet Connector (Optional)

Your system's optional embedded remote access Ethernet connector (see

Figure B-9

) is designed to provide remote access

capabilities for your system. It is designed specifically to work with systems management software.
