Page 20 highlights

Connecting to a Network To connect the system to a network: 1 Connect one end of a network cable to your network device (router, network switch, cable modem/DSL). 2 Connect the other end of the network cable to one of the network adapter connections on the back of your computer. A click indicates that the network cable is securely attached. NOTE: Your computer is configured with two integrated network adapter connections. These connections support advanced configuration options. See "Network Advanced Features" on page 21. If you have an expansion network adapter (PCI, PCIe), plug your network cable into that adapter. NOTE: It is recommended that you use Category 5 wiring and connectors for your network. If you must use Category 3 wiring, force the network speed to 10 Mbps to ensure reliable operation. 20 Setting up Your Computer
