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 con- nected to the computer. 2. Plug one end of the cable into the LAN jack. Press gently until you hear the latch click into place. 1.LAN JACK Figure 4-9 Connecting the LAN cable 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. User's Manual 4-35

Operating Basics
LAN
The computer has built-in support for Ethernet LAN (10 megabits per
second,10BASE-T) or Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second,
100BASETX). This section describes how to connect/disconnect to a LAN.
Connecting LAN cable
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 cate-
gory 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 con-
nected to the computer.
2.
Plug one end of the cable into the LAN jack. Press gently until you hear
the latch click into place.
Figure 4-9 Connecting the LAN cable
3.
Plug the other end of the cable into a LAN hub connector. Check with
your LAN administrator before connecting to a hub.
Do not install or remove an optional memory module while Wake-up on
LAN is enabled.
The Wake-up on LAN function consumes power even when the system is
off. Leave the AC adapter connected while using this feature.
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.
