Notes:
• The RJ-45 ports on this module have the HP Auto MDI-X feature. In the default configuration, Auto, either a straight-
through or crossover cable can be used to connect the port to any other 1000Base-T, 100Base-TX or 10Base-T device.
See the Note on page
• Since the 10Base-T operation is through the 10/100Base-TX or 10/100/1000-T ports, if you ever want to upgrade the
ports to 100Base-TX, it would be best to cable the ports initially with category 5 cable or better.
