Connecting to the Gigabit Ethernet Interface RegionB icon(mainly North America)

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

CAUTION

  • Properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors must be used for connections to a host computer (and/or peripheral) in order to meet FCC emission limits.

Important

  • 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

1Make sure the main power is switched off.

2Connect the Ethernet interface cable to the Gigabit Ethernet port.

3Connect the other end of the Ethernet interface cable to a network connection device such as a hub.

4Turn on the main power switch of the machine.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Indicators (both orange and green)

    When 1000BASE-T is operating, both LEDs are lit.

Note

  • Use an Ethernet interface cable that supports "Ethernet Speed". If you select [Auto Select] for "Ethernet Speed", use an Ethernet interface cable that supports 1000BASE-T.

  • For details about how to turn on the main power switch, see "Turning On the Main Power", Getting Started.
