! Warning: Your computer has a protective sticker covering the Ethernet port
located on the rear panel. Connect only 10Base-T and 100Base-TX cables to the

current overload and can cause a malfunction, excessive heat or fire in the port.
For help on connecting to a network, see your network administrator.
