Adding Parts
To attach your computer to a network or modem, connect one end of a network cable
to either a network jack or your network device. Connect the other end of the network
cable to the network adapter connector on the back panel of your computer. A click
indicates that the network cable has been securely attached.
On computers with a network connector card, use the connector on the card.
It is recommended that you use Category 5 wiring and connectors for your network. If
you must use Category 3 wiring, force the network speed to 10 Mbps to ensure reliable
operation.
