Connecting a Network Cable

Connecting an
SFP Transceiver
The 29M2/SP-BA network adapter is equipped with an SFP slot. To
connect the network adapter to the network, you must install an SFP
transceiver and connect an appropriate cable to connect to the network.
The 29M2/SA-BA network adapter requires an SFP transceiver and an
appropriate cable to connect to the network.
1. Insert an SFP transceiver into the SFP slot on the network adapter
until the SFP transceiver snaps into place in the slot.
2. Remove a plug from the SFP transceiver.
3. Connect one end of the cable to the SFP transceiver.
4. Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate Ethernet network
port or an appropriate port.
Note
After the cable is properly connected at both ends, the adapter card
LED should be functional. See Table 1 on page 15 for a description
of LED operation.
After the system is connected to the network and power is supplied, the
network adapter attempts to establish the connection as follow:
With a Gigabit SFP, the network adapter attempts to negotiate

duplex and flow control via the auto-negotiation protocol. If the link
partner does not support Auto-negotiation, the network adapter
bypasses the process and attempts to establish a link at 1000Mpbs
in full duplex.
With a 100Mbps SFP, the network adapter attempts to establish

the connection at 100Mps in full-duplex.
