Connecting to the Gigabit Ethernet Interface (mainly North America)
This section describes how to connect the Ethernet interface cable to the Gigabit Ethernet port.
Caution:
Properly shield twisted pair cable (STP cable) must be used for connections to a host computer (and/or peripheral) in order to meet FCC emission limits.
If the main power switch is on, turn it off.
Use the following Ethernet cables.
When using 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T:
Shielded Twisted Pair Cable (STP) and Category type 5 or more
When using 1000BASE-T:
Shielded Twisted Pair Cable (STP) and Category type 5e or more
Make sure the main power is switched 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.
Indicator (green)
When 10BASE-T is operating, the LED is lit green. When 100BASE-TX is operating or the machine is not connected to the network, it is turned off.
Indicators (both orange and green)
When 1000BASE-T is operating, both LED are lit.
Indicator (orange)
When 100BASE-TX is operating, the LED is lit orange. When 10BASE-T is operating or the machine is not connected to the network, it is turned off.
For details about how to turn on the main power switch, see "Turning On/Off the Power", About This Machine.
