Connecting LAN cable
CAUTION: The computer must be configured properly before con-
necting 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 con-
nect 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.

LAN active indicator glows amber. When the computer is con-
nected to a LAN hub but is not exchanging data, the Link indicator
glows green.
