4.5.3 Connecting a Network Cable

Before connecting or replacing a network cable, use a network cable tester to check whether
the new network cable is functional.
The new and old cables must be of the same model or be compatible.
Before installing a network cable to a network port, check that the network cable connector is
intact and the pins have no sundries or deformation.
Step 1 Wear an ESD wrist strap. For details, see
Step 2 Check the model of the new network cable.
A network cable with the shielding function is recommended. According to professional EMC
test results, when static is generated, a network cable without the shielding function can cause
the system to suspend or restart.
