Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second, 100BASE-Tx). This section describes how
to connect/disconnect to a LAN.

connected, if you are using this feature
.

LAN cable types

CAUTION: 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 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.

nect the AC Adaptor while the computer is accessing a LAN, the system
may hang up.
