Your N2800e Thin Client Express includes an integrated Ethernet connection.
For a 10 Megabit (Mb) line speed operation, you need a category 3 or higher
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) type of cable. For a 100 Mb line speed operation,
you need a category 5 UTP type of cable.
Refer to "Appendix G. Connector pin information" on page 59 for communication
cable specifications.
A basic video graphics adapter (VGA) class monitor that meets the Video
Electronics Standards Association (VESA) standards of refresh rate and resolution
functions with the N2800e Thin Client Express. The N2800e Thin Client Express
can support VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) and VESA
Display Data Channel (DDC2B).
Refer to "Appendix F. Monitor specifications" on page 57 for a list of resolutions
and refresh rates that the N2800e Thin Client Express can support. Your monitor
may not support all resolutions and refresh rates.
Normal power consumption for the thin client, while running applications, ranges
from 24 to 28 Watts. During periods of inactivity, the system switches into the
suspend state, and power consumption reduces to approximately 18 Watts. Once
the system enters the soft-off state, power consumption reduces to approximately
10 Watts.
Note: Power consumption may fluctuate or vary from these values, depending on
the voltage selection (115V or 230V) of the thin client.
Display monitor power reduction occurs when you use the N2800e Thin Client
Express with a VESA DPMS Standard monitor.
As an Energy Star Partner, IBM has determined that this product meets the Energy
Star Program guidelines for energy efficiency.
You can perform the following hardware procedures:
v Install PCI adapter cards for PCI devices

If you plan to use peripheral USB devices with your N2800e Thin Client
Express, refer to the documentation for your peripheral USB devices for
information.
v Upgrade your memory
The N2800e Thin Client Express has tworandom access memory (RAM) slots
that accepts Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) Dual
Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). The N2800e Thin Client Express includes 64
MB of RAM, and supports memory expansions of up to 256 MB. You can
