5-2 Network Communications Connecting to an Ethernet Network An RJ-45 Ethernet network connector is included on your workstation. Attaching a Network Cable to the RJ-45 Connector Refer to the following illustration to connect a network cable to the RJ-45 connector. IMPORTANT: If you are connecting to a 100BaseTX network, you must use a Category 5 UTP cable. Also, in order for Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown to function, the internal power cable for the network interface controller must be connected to the system board. See the section "Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown" in Chapter 3 for information on these features. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from electrical shock, remove all power cords to completely disconnect power from the system before attaching the network cable to the RJ-45 connector.
