Connecting to the Network
This section describes how to connect the 3C509B NIC to an
Ethernet network using an RJ-45, BNC, or AUI port. Each 3C509B
NIC provides different network ports, as shown in Figure 1-1.
When you Ţrst install the NIC and power on the PC, the LED on
the NIC backplate lights, but the link is not active. To enable the
link, you must load the network drivers. See OLink LED� in this
chapter for more information.
Follow these steps to connect the RJ-45 port on the 3C509B-TPO,
TPC, TP, and COMBO NICs to the network:
1 Plug the RJ-45 connector on the twisted-pair network cable
into the RJ-45 port on the NIC backplate. See Figure 1-3.
