Chapter 2 Installation
Connect to a Network
The computers have two 1 GB LAN ports that connect to an Ethernet network
by using CAT5 or CAT5E twisted-pair Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors.
WARNING: When you connect a LAN cable, verify that the cable is fully inserted
in the LAN port and the latch is engaged. Failure to do so can result in an
electrical arc that can cause an explosion in a hazardous location.
To help prevent performance degradation of Ethernet communication, do not
subject the computer or cables to extreme radiation or conducted
high-frequency noise.
In industrial environments, proper cable routing and power conditioning are
required for Ethernet communication. We recommend that you route all
Ethernet cable through dedicated metal conduits. For improved performance
reliability, install ferrite bead filters at the cable ends.
