LAN

The computer is equipped with LAN circuits that support Ethernet LAN (10
megabits per second, 10BASE-T) and Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per
second, 100BASE-TX). 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.
Wake-up on LAN does not work without the AC adaptor. Leave it connected,
if you are 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 megabits per second, 100BASE-
TX), be sure to connect with a CAT5 cable. You cannot use a CAT3 cable.
If you are using Ethernet LAN (10 megabits per second, 10BASE-T), you can
connect with either a CAT5 or a CAT3.
To connect the LAN cable, follow the steps below.
1. Turn off the power to the computer and to all external devices connected
to the computer.
2. Plug one end of the cable into the LAN jack. Press gently until you hear
the latch click into place.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into a LAN hub connector. Check with
your LAN administrator before connecting to a hub.

Disconnecting LAN cable

1. Pinch the lever on the connector in the computer's LAN jack and pull
out the connector.
