4 Ethernet connector
Connect your computer to a LAN with the Ethernet connector.
DANGER
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not connect the telephone cable to the Ethernet connector.
You can only connect an Ethernet cable to this connector.
Two indicators, to the upper right and left of the connector, show the status of the network connection.
When your computer connects to a LAN and a session with the network is available, the upper left indicator
is steady green. While data is being transmitted, the upper right indicator blinks yellow.
Note: If you attach your computer to a ThinkPad Ultrabase, docking station, or replicator, use the Ethernet
connector on the Ultrabase, docking station, or replicator to connect to a LAN, not the one on the computer.
