Chapter 5. Connecting to an Ethernet Network
This chapter explains how to connect the adapter to the multimode fiber network. Refer to your local
procedures for information about connecting the Gigabit Ethernet-SX PCI-X Adapter or Dual Port Gigabit
Ethernet-SX PCI-X Adapter to your Ethernet network.
Note:
Only one type of network can be attached to the adapter card at one time.
Connecting the Network Cables and Adapter
Before you begin connecting the adapter, make sure you have the hardware listed in “Verifying Your

To connect the adapter to a multimode fiber network, do the following:
1. Insert the male fiber LC connector of the fiber cable into the adapter LC connector.
2. Insert the male fiber LC connector of the other end of the cable into the network switch.
