As shown in Figure 4–21, LAN cable connectors include slide clip mounts rather
than the captive screws found on most asynchronous device connectors. The female
connector on the VTC option board includes a slide clip.

To connect your LAN drop cable to a standard slide clip, follow these directions.
1. Before you connect your first LAN transceiver to the VTC board in your
computer’s card cage, disconnect electrical power to the system. Refer to the
Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 Local Area Network Installation Guide if necessary.
2. Align the larger mount slot on the clip with the screw behind it as shown in
Figure 4–22. This position allows the cable connector to fit completely over the
VTC connector before you secure the connection.
