Connecting the Copper Board
To connect your copper Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express board to a network, insert the RJ45
connector on one end of the copper cable into the Gigabit Ethernet board, as shown in
Figure 2-2. Make sure the connector is inserted completely into the jack, and then insert
the connector on the other end of the copper cable into the jack on the Ethernet switch,
or another computer system (as appropriate).
Note: If your network connects to an Ethernet switch, consult the operating manual for
the switch to ensure that the switch port is enabled and configured correctly.
