Setting up Your Computer
Connecting to a Network
To connect the system to a network:
1
Connect one end of a network cable to your network device (router,
network switch, cable modem/DSL).
2
Connect the other end of the network cable to one of the network adapter
connections on the back of your computer.
A click indicates that the network cable is securely attached.
NOTE:
Your computer is configured with two integrated network adapter
connections. These connections support advanced configuration options.
See "Network Advanced Features" on page 21.
If you have an expansion network adapter (PCI, PCIe), plug your network
cable into that adapter.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you use Category 5 wiring and connectors for your
network. If you must use Category 3 wiring, force the network speed to 10 Mbps to
ensure reliable operation.
