Operating Basics

LAN

The computer has built-in support for Ethernet LAN (10 megabits per

second, 10BASE-T), Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second,

100BASE-TX) and Gigabit Ethernet LAN (1000 megabits per second,

1000BASE-T).

This section describes how to connect/disconnect to a LAN.

LAN cable types

If you are using Gigabit Ethernet LAN (1000 megabits per second,

1000BASE-T), be sure to connect with a CAT5E cable or higher. You

cannot use a CAT3 or CAT5 cable.
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.

Do not install or remove an optional 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 (10/100/1000 megabits per second) switches

automatically according to your network environment (connected

devices, cables, noise etc.).

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.
