Connecting to an Ethernet Network
Two types of network connectors are included on your workstation. Each type
requires different equipment and installation procedures as explained in the

To connect a network cable to the RJ-45 connector:
1. Insert one end of the network cable into the main network connection.
2. Insert the other end into the RJ-45 connector on your workstation.
3. Ensure both connectors are properly secured.
