Ethernet

Your computer is equipped with a 10/100Base-TX or

10/100/1000Base-TX Fast Ethernet network adapter. Connect the

active LAN cable to the RJ-45 LAN port located on the left side of

the computer. This allows you to access and transmit data in the

local area network.

Connecting to the Network

Use Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Ethernet cable only.

1. Insert one end of the UTP cable into the network connector

until the connector snaps securely into the receptacle.

2. Either connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 jack

wall outlet or to an RJ-45 port on a UTP concentrator or hub in

the network.

Cabling Restriction for Networks

The following restrictions should be observed for

10/100/1000BASE-TX networks:

The maximum cable run length is 100 meters(m) (328

feet[ft]).

For 100Mbps or 1000Mbps operations, use Category 5

wiring and connections.

Note:

Consult Windows manual and / or Novell Netware user’s guide for the

software installation, configuration, operation of the network.
