5. Insert the GE 2000-N card into the empty PCI slot in the PC. 
Orient the card so that the RJ-45 connector points out of the 
computer

firmly on the card to ensure that it is completely seated in the 
PCI slot. Secure the GE 2000-N card using the screw from step

Connecting the Network 
 
The third stage in the installation sequence is connecting the GigMAC  
demo card to the network. In this stage, you will need only the 
twisted-pair Category 5 network cable. 
 
After you have inserted the card and closed the PC, connect one end 
of the twisted-pair cable to the RJ-45 connector on the GigMAC  demo 
card, and the other end to another PC or a network hub or switch 
When connecting the card to another PC, the cable 
will need to be crossover, meaning that pins 1 and 2 must be 
swapped with pins 3 and 6, respectively, between the two ends of 
the cable. A crossover cable should not be used when connecting 
the GE 2000-N card to a network hub or switch. The difference 
between a crossover and non-crossover (“straight”) cable is shown 
 
The next time you turn on the PC, one of the two green link lights 
on the GE 2000-N card should become illuminated almost immediately. 
This signifies that the card has established link with the device at the  
other end of the cable and is ready to send and receive 
data.
