Plugging In Your Time Capsule

Â
Connect the Ethernet cable that’s connected to your DSL or cable modem (if you will
connect to the Internet) to the Ethernet WAN (<
) port.
Â
Connect a USB cable connected from the USB (d
) port on your Time Capsule to a
compatible USB printer (if you will print to a USB printer), a hard disk, or a hub.

Connect an Ethernet cable from any Ethernet device to the Ethernet LAN (G

After you’ve connected the cables for all the devices you plan to use, connect the
power cord to the power port and plug your Time Capsule into a power outlet. There is
no power switch.

Use only the power cord that came with your Time Capsule.
