Connecting to a local area network (LAN) (select models only)
Connecting to a LAN requires an 8-pin, RJ-45 network cable (purchased separately). If the network
cable contains noise suppression circuitry (1), which prevents interference from TV and radio
reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable (2) toward the computer.
To connect the network cable:
1. Plug the network cable into the network jack (1) on the computer.
2. Plug the other end of the network cable into a network wall jack (2) or a router (not illustrated).
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug a
modem cable or telephone cable into an RJ-45 (network) jack.
