Connect Ethernet Network Cables
The server has four Gigabit Ethernet network connectors, marked NET 0, NET 1, NET 2, and NET
3. Use these ports to connect the server to the network. The Ethernet interfaces
operate at 100 Mbps, 1000 Mbps, and 10000 Mbps. See, Connect Ethernet Network Cables.
Note - To achieve 1GbE network speeds, use Category 6 (or
better) cables and network devices that support 1000BASE-T networks.
- Connect a Category 5 (or better) cable from your network switch or hub to Ethernet Port 0 (NET
0) on the rear of the chassis.
- Connect Category 5 (or better) cables from your network switch or hub to the remaining
Ethernet ports (NET 1, NET 2, NET 3), as needed.
