ETWORK
To physically connect the Splash color server to the network:
1. Remove any disk from the color server’s floppy drive and turn off the color server if you
have not already done so.
2. Connect the color server to the network.
The Splash M Series Color Server has a 10/100baseT network card that supports
twisted pair. Figure 1 illustrates the network connectors.

You can connect the color server to standard Ethernet (10baseT) or Fast Ethernet
networks (100baseT). The color server automatically configures the card for Fast
Ethernet if Fast Ethernet is detected.
Do not use a cross-over cable to connect your workstation directly to the color server. If
you need a direct connection, use a mini-hub.
Do not power up the Splash M Series Color Server.
