3. Enterprise 6000/5000 systems only: route the cable down along the right
mounting rail of the chassis.
Use tie wraps to secure the cable to the rail.
2.5 ConnectingtheSystemtotheNetwork
1. Connect the network cable to a twisted-pair-to-transceiver interface box.
2. Connect the interface box with an appropriate cable to a network
transceiver.
Figure 2-8 shows a typical arrangement for connecting the system to an
Ethernet network.
3. For Ethernet cables, determine if the cable has N-type screw-on
connectors at the ends.
