Wired Connections
If the wired network connection is lost — The
network cable is loose or damaged.
• Check the network cable to ensure it is
plugged in and not damaged.
• The link integrity light on the integrated
network connector lets you verify that
your connection is working and provides
information on the status:
– Green — A good connection exists
between a 10/100-Mbps network and the
computer.
– Amber — A good connection exists
between a 1000-Mbps network and the
computer.
– Off — The computer is not detecting a
physical connection to the network.
NOTE: The link integrity light on the network
connector is only for a wired network
connection. The link integrity light does not
provide status for wireless connections.
