Plug one end of the cable into the network port on the back of your computer, and the other end into one of the orange CAT-5 UOnet Ethernet jacks on the data box.
Power off your machine, then plug the transceiver into the network port on the back of the Mac. Next, plug one end of the cable into the transceiver, and the other into one of the orange CAT-5 UOnet Ethernet jacks on the data box.
- Power off your machine and remove the cover.
- Locate the LC card slot (usually on the left side) and remove the knockout in front of the slot by squeezing the plastic tabs and removing the metal plate.
- Remove the card from its antistatic bag (be sure to first touch something metal to release any static electricity), and push the card firmly into the slot, with the metal end with the plug-in facing out the knockout.
- Close the case and reconnect cables.
- Plug one end of the patch cord into the card, and the other end into one of the CAT-5 UOnet Ethernet jacks on the data box.
If you have another model of ethernet adapter, follow the instructions that come with it.

into them. An Ethernet port looks like a phone jack only slightly larger. You can bring your computer to room 101 of Douglass hall if you

students residing in UO Housing.

The following is a list of ethernet cards sold by ResNet. Only UO Housing residents may purchase cards from us, as we will bill purchases directly to your UO account. You will also need to purchase an ethernet cable . If you buy your card from another company, we will still install it for free if it is a supported card. We also have other models of cards available in limited amounts, at a slightly higher price, if none of the mainstream cards will work in your computer.
