LAN
The computer has built-in support for Ethernet LAN (10 megabits per
second,10BASE-T) or Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second,
100BASETX). This section describes how to connect/disconnect to a LAN.
Do not install or remove an optional memory module while Wake-up on
LAN is enabled.
The Wake-up on LAN function consumes power even when the system is
off. Leave the AC adapter connected while using this feature.
Connecting LAN cable
The computer must be configured properly before connecting to a LAN.
Logging onto a LAN using the computer's default settings could cause a
malfunction in LAN operation. Check with your LAN administrator
regarding set-up procedures.
If you are using Fast Ethernet LAN (100 Mbit/s, 100BASE-TX), be sure to
connect with a category 5 cable, CAT5, or higher.
If you are using Ethernet LAN (10 Mbit/s, 10BASE-T), connect with a cate-
gory 3 cable, CAT3, or higher.
To connect the LAN cable, follow the steps below.
1.
Turn off the power to the computer and to all external devices con-
nected to the computer.
2.
Plug one end of the cable into the LAN jack. Press gently until you hear
the latch click into place.
