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 one ferrite core at the machine end of the Ethernet cable, and then attach the other ferrite core about 10 cm (4 inch) (1) from this core.
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 green and yellow)
  When 1000BASE-T is operating, both LED are lit.
