Connecting To A Network - HP Compaq NX9100 Reference Manual

Using the Expansion Base

Connecting to a Network

You can connect your notebook through the Expansion Base
to a network. This requires an RJ-45 Ethernet cable (purchased
separately).
1. If you haven't already done so, connect the Expansion Base
to your notebook following the instructions in
"Getting Started."
2. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45
(network) jack on the Expansion Base 1 and the other
end to the RJ-45 wall jack 2.

Use the RJ-45 jack on the Expansion Base instead of the one
on the notebook. The RJ-45 jack on some notebooks may be
disabled when the notebook is installed in the Expansion Base.
It is not necessary to connect a modem cable between
the notebook and Expansion Base if you are connecting
the Expansion Base directly to a network.
