Do not connect a network from your switch, router, or network jack to connector 14 or 15 on the Quadro Sync II card. These two RJ45 ports are reserved for sync data only. The sync card will not operate correctly if either port is connected to a regular network.

Connector availability depends on the I/O configuration selected when the unit is ordered. If your unit does not include a given optional card, the related connectors will not be present on the rear panel.
