OptiPlex Gn+ systems have an integrated, 3Com
10/100-megabit per second (Mbps) Peripheral Compo-
nent Interconnect (PCI) 3C905 NIC. The NIC provides
all the functions of a separate 3Com 3C905 network
expansion card and supports both the 10BASE-T and
100BASE-TX Ethernet standards.
NOTE: OptiPlex Gn and Gn+ systems also offer an
optional Wakeup On LAN-capable network card. For
installation instructions, see the documentation that
came with the network card.
The NIC connector on the computer’s back panel has the
following indicators (see Figure 4-1):
•
A yellow activity indicator flashes when the system
is transmitting or receiving network data. (A high
volume of network traffic may make this indicator
appear to be in a steady “on” state.)
•
A green link integrity indicator lights up when there
is a good connection between the network and the
NIC. When the green indicator is off, the computer is
not detecting a physical connection to the network.
