Connecting to 1000BASE-T Network Ports
The RJ-45 10/100/1000BASE-T network ports on the server support automatic
MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-
pair cables to connect to any other network device. The connections require
unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables with RJ-45
connectors at both ends.
Follow these steps to connect network cable an RJ-45 port:
1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable to the network device’s RJ-45 port.
