Connecting to Networks
Overview The AlphaServer 2100 system has a PCI-based Ethernet
controller that supports either an AUI or 10BASE-T (twisted-
pair) interface. The system can also support other network
options using network adapters that you can connect to the EISA
and PCI buses.
For information about connecting your system to networks other
than Ethernet, refer to the documentation that you received
when you purchased your network adapter.
Ethernet Connect your system to a ThinWire, AUI, or 10BASE-T Ethernet
network as shown in Figure 1–10.
Caution
Before connecting your system to an Ethernet network,
turn off the system’s DC power as described previously in
‘‘Powering Down the System.’’
