Connecting to the Gigabit Ethernet Interface

This section describes how to connect the Ethernet interface cable to the Gigabit Ethernet port.

If the main power switch is on, turn it off.
Use the following Ethernet cables.
- When using 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T:
  Unshielded Twisted Pair Cable (UTP) or Shielded Twisted Pair Cable (STP) and Category type 5 or more
- When using 1000BASE-T:
  Unshielded Twisted Pair Cable (UTP) or Shielded Twisted Pair Cable (STP) and Category type 5e or more

Attach the ferrite core supplied with the machine to the machine end of the Ethernet interface cable. Make a loop about 10 cm (4 inch) (1) from the end and attach the ferrite core supplied with the optional Gigabit Ethernet board.
Make sure the main power switch of the machine is off.
Connect the Ethernet interface cable to the Gigabit Ethernet port.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet interface cable to a network connection device such as a hub.
Turn on the main power switch of the machine.
1. Indicator (yellow)
  When 100BASE-TX is operating, the LED is lit yellow. When 10BASE-T is operating, it is turned off.
2. Indicator (green)
  When 10BASE-T is operating, the LED is lit green. When 100BASE-TX is operating it is turned off.
3. Indicators (both yellow and green)
  When 1000BASE-T is operating, both LED are lit.
- If the optional Gigabit Ethernet board is installed, only the Ethernet interface and USB interface on the Gigabit Ethernet board can be used.
