DANGER
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not connect the telephone cable to the Ethernet connector.

indicator is solid green, it indicates that the computer connects to a LAN and a session with the network is
available. When the top-right indicator blinks yellow, it indicates that data is being transmitted.
Note: If you attach the computer to a supported docking station, use the Ethernet connector on the docking
station to connect to a LAN, not the one on the computer.
