Installing Your System

Attach the Ethernet Terminators
You need to connect the T-connector, two Ethernet terminators, and
the loopback connector (Figure 2–1) to the system unit so you can run
diagnostic tests to verify the Ethernet circuits.
NOTE
The system will not boot if the power-up self-test detects an
Ethernet error.
For diagnostic purposes:
• The T-connector and two terminators complete the ThinWire Ethernet
circuit. Later, when you decide to connect to a network, you exchange
ThinWire cable sections for one or both terminators, depending on
your network setup.
• The loopback connector completes the standard Ethernet circuit.
To connect the T-connector and loopback connector:
1. Push one terminator into one side of the T-connector, then turn the
terminator clockwise until it locks in place.

2. Push the second terminator into the other side of the T-connector,
then turn the terminator clockwise until it locks in place.
