22 CHAPTER 1: NETWORK INTERFACE CARD INSTALLATION
Connecting to the Network
This section describes how to connect the 3C509B NIC to
an Ethernet network using an RJ-45, BNC, or AUI port.
Each 3C509B NIC provides different network ports, as
shown in Figure 1 on page 17.
When you first install the NIC and power-on the PC, the
LED on the NIC backplate lights, but the link is not active.
To enable the link, you must load the network drivers. See
“Link LED” on page 25 for more information.
Connecting an RJ-45 Port to the Network
Follow these steps to connect the RJ-45 port on the
3C509B-TPO, TPC, TP, and COMBO NICs to the network:
1 Plug the RJ-45 connector on the twisted-pair network
cable into the RJ-45 port on the NIC backplate, as
shown in Figure 3.
