adapter one end of a network cable to either a network jack or your network or
connector broadband 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.
NOTE: Do not plug a telephone cable into the network connector.
For VPro to work, the network cable must be connected to the onboard
NIC.

your network. If you must use Category 3 wiring, force the network
speed to 10 Mbps to ensure reliable operation.
