chapter 1 getting to know the basics
Ethernet
Your computer is equipped with a 100/1000Base-TX Fast Ethernet
network adapter. Connect the active LAN cable to the RJ-45 LAN port
located on the left side of the computer. This allows you to access and
transmit data in the local area network.
Connecting to the Network
Use the Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Ethernet cable only.
1. Insert one end of the UTP cable into the network connector
until the connector snaps securely into the receptacle.
2. Either connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 jack
wall outlet or to an RJ-45 port on a UTP concentrator or hub in the
network.
Cabling Restriction for Networks
The following restrictions should be observed for
100/1000BASE-TX networks:
„
The maximum cable run length is 100 meters(m) (328
feet[ft]).
„
For 100/1000-Mbps operations, use Category 5 wiring and
connections.
Note:
Consult the Windows manual and / or Novell Netware user’s guide for the
software installation, configuration, and operation of the network.
