Terminating ThinWire Ethernet

The basic DECstation 5000 Model 200 workstation comes with
a ThinWire Ethernet connector already in place in base slot 6 in
the system unit. A ThinWire T-connector and two T-connector
terminators came with your shipment.
Ethernet connections are optional. If you want to use your
workstation without connecting it to a ThinWire Ethernet
network, simply terminate the ThinWire connector on the
system unit.
If you want to connect your workstation to a ThinWire
network, see the discussion of ThinWire network connections in
Chapter 6 of this guide.
