To attach your computer to a network or broadband device,
connect one end of a network cable to either a network jack
or your network or broadband device. Connect the other
end of the network cable to the network adapter connector
on the back panel of your computer. A click indicates that
the network cable has been securely attached.

NOTE:

Do not plug a telephone cable into the network

connector.

Remote management features require use of the onboard
