LAN

The computer has built-in support for Ethernet LAN (10 megabits per
second, 10BASE-T) and Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second,
100BASE-TX) or Gigabit Ethernet LAN (1000 megabits per second,
1000BASE-T). This section describes how to connect/disconnect to a LAN.
Do not install or remove an optional memory module while Wake-up on
LAN is enabled.
The Wake-up on LAN function consumes power even when the system is
off. Leave the AC adaptor connected while using this feature.

Connecting LAN cable

The computer must be configured properly before connecting to a LAN.
Logging onto a LAN using the computer's default settings could cause a
malfunction in LAN operation. Check with your LAN administrator
regarding set-up procedures.
If you are using Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second, 100BASE-
TX), be sure to connect with a category 5 cable, CAT5, or higher.
If you are using Ethernet LAN (10 megabits per second, 10BASE-T),
connect with a category 3 cable, CAT3, or higher.
If you are using Gigabit Ethernet (1000 megabits per second, 1000BASE-
T), connect with a category 5e cable, CAT5e, or higher.
