32 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING AND CONNECTING THE NIC
AUI Port
The AUI port provides a 10 Mbps connection only.
The following table shows the cable requirement and
maximum network cable length for the AUI port.
To connect the AUI port:
1 Locate the 15-pin AUI port on the NIC and move the
slide latch down to the open position.
2 Connect the thick Ethernet coaxial cable to the
AUI port on the NIC.
This connector attaches in only one way. Orient the AUI
connector to match the AUI port on the NIC.
3 Move the slide latch up to the closed position to lock
the AUI connector in place.
4 Connect the other end of the network cable to an
external transceiver.
The next step is to install the network driver.
Go to Chapter 3, “Installing NIC Software in Windows,” or
Chapter 4, “Installing the NetWare Client and Server Drivers.”
