Connecting To A Local Area Network - HP XA664AA Reference Manual

Connecting to a local area network

Connecting to a local area network (LAN) requires an 8-pin, RJ-45 network cable (purchased
separately). If the network cable contains noise suppression circuitry (1), which prevents interference
from TV and radio reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable (2) toward the computer.
To connect the network cable, follow these steps:
1. Connect the network cable into the network jack (1) on the computer.
2. Connect the other end of the cable into a network wall jack (2).
WARNING!
a modem or telephone cable into the RJ-45 (network) jack.
