LAN cable types
If you are using Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second, 100BASE-
TX), be sure to connect with a CAT5 cable or higher. You cannot use a
CAT3 cable.
If you are using Ethernet LAN (10 megabits per second, 10BASE-T), you
can connect with a CAT3 or higher cable.
Connecting the LAN cable
To connect the LAN cable, follow the steps as detailed below:
Do not install or remove a 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 adaptor connected while using this
feature.

The Link speed (10/100 megabits per second) changes automatically
depending on the network conditions (connected device, cable or
noise and so on).
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.

Connect the AC adaptor before connecting the LAN cable. The AC
adaptor must remain connected during LAN use. If you disconnect the
AC Adaptor while the computer is accessing a LAN, the system may
hang.
