3. Plug the other end of the cable into a LAN hub connector. Check with

your LAN administrator before connecting to a hub.

Disconnecting LAN cable

To disconnect the LAN cable, follow the steps below.

1. Pinch the lever on the connector in the computer’s LAN jack and pull

out the connector.

2. Disconnect the cable from the LAN hub in the same manner. Check

with your LAN administrator before disconnecting from the hub.

Cleaning the computer

To help ensure long, trouble-free operation, keep the computer free of dust

and use care with liquids around the computer.

Be careful not to spill liquids into the computer. If the computer does get

wet, turn the power off immediately and let the computer dry completely

before you turn it on again.

Clean the computer using a slightly damp (with water) cloth. You can

use glass cleaner on the display. Spray a small amount of cleaner on a

soft, clean cloth and wipe the screen gently with the cloth.

Moving the computer

The computer is designed for rugged durability. However, a few simple

precautions taken when moving the computer will help ensure trouble-free

operation.

Make sure all disk activity has ended before moving the computer.

Check the Disk indicator on the computer.

If a CD/DVD is in the drive, remove it. Also make sure the drawer is

securely closed.

Turn off the power to the computer.

Disconnect the AC adaptor and all peripherals before moving the

computer.

Close the display. Do not pick up the computer by its display panel.

When the computer is exchanging data with the LAN, the LAN active

indicator glows orange. When the computer is connected to a LAN hub but

is not exchanging data, the Link indicator glows green.

Make sure the LAN active indicator (orange LED) is out before you

disconnect the computer from the LAN.

Never spray cleaner directly onto the computer or let liquid run into any

part of it. Never use harsh or caustic chemical products to clean the

computer.
