To connect to a network, proceed as follows:

cable (not supplied) to the Ethernet port, identified
by the symbol

is to remind customers in Germany not to insert an
ISDN cable (see caution below).

Connect only 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX cables to the Ethernet port. Using other cables or a telephone cable may cause a malfunction, excessive heat or even fire in the port.

inside the computer.
