The NIC connector on the computer's back panel (see Figure 5-1) has the following
indicators:
A yellow activity indicator flashes when the system is transmitting or receiving
network data. (A high volume of network traffic may make this indicator appear to
be in a steady "on" state.)
A green link integrity indicator lights up when there is a good connection
between the network and the NIC. When the green indicator is off, the computer
is not detecting a physical connection to the network or the power source to the
computer has been shut off.
To connect your system to and configure it for use on an Ethernet network, you must
complete the following steps:
See the following subsection, "Network Cable Requirements," for detailed
