Network Interface Board
Network-ready models come with an Ethernet network
interface board. The board allows you to connect the system
to an Ethernet network and communicate with other
computers. The network interface board, also referred to as
a network interface card (NIC), provides three connectors
for coaxial and twisted-pair network cabling:
BNC — supports thin coaxial cables.
AUI connector — supports thick coaxial cables.
RJ-45 connector — supports twisted-pair 10BASE-T
cables.
If you have a network-ready model, see "Network Setup
Utility" in your online Product Information Center to set up
a network-ready system.
