Ethernet connector
The computer comes with an integrated Ethernet controller. This controller provides
an interface for connecting to 10-MBps or 100-MBps networks and provides
full-duplex capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of
data on the Ethernet LAN.
To access the Ethernet connector, attach a Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable to the RJ-45 connector on the rear of the computer. See
“Input/output connector locations” on page 66 for its location.
Note: The 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet standard requires that the cabling in the
network be Category 5.
