LAN (RJ-45) Jack
Before docking or undocking your
LifeBook notebook (when using a port
replicator), it is a good practice to
always touch a grounded metal object
to discharge static electricity built up
in your body.
Be sure to power down your system
before adding or removing system
components. Even if the system is in
hibernate or standby states, data
could be lost or memory could be
damaged if power is still available to
the system.
