1.
Pinch the lever on the connector in the telephone jack and pull out the
connector.
2.
Disconnect the cable from the computer in the same manner.
LAN
The computer is equipped with LAN circuits that support Ethernet LAN (10
megabits per second, 10BASE-T) and Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits
per second, 100BASE-TX), or Gigabit Ethernet LAN (1000megabits per
second, 1000BASE-T). This section describes how to connect/disconnect
to and from a LAN.
If you use Gigabit Ethernet LAN (1000megabits per second, 1000BASE-T),
be sure to connect with CAT5e OR CAT6 cable.
Connecting the LAN cable
If you are using Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second, 100BASE-
TX), be sure to connect with a CAT5 cable. You cannot use a CAT3 cable.
If you are using Ethernet LAN (10 megabits per second, 10BASE-T), you
can connect with either a CAT5 or a CAT3.
If you use Gigabit Ethernet LAN (1000megabits per second, 1000BASE-T),
be sure to connect with CAT5e OR CAT6 cable.
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
