Connecting Lan Cable; Disconnecting Lan Cable - Toshiba Satellite L350 series User Manual

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
category 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
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.
When the computer is exchanging data with the LAN, the LAN active
indicator glows orange. When the computer is connected to a LAN hub but
is not exchanging data, the link indicator glows green.

Disconnecting LAN cable

To disconnect the LAN cable, follow the steps below.
Make sure the LAN active indicator (orange LED) is out before you

1. Pinch the lever on the connector in the computer's LAN jack and pull
out the connector.
2. Disconnect the cable from the LAN hub in the same manner. Check
