■ chapter 1 getting to know the basics
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.
