Ethernet
Your computer is equipped with a 10/100/1000Base-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 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
10/100/1000BASE-TX networks:
The maximum cable run length is 100 meters(m) (328
feet[ft]).
For 100Mbps or 1000Mbps operations, use Category 5
wiring and connections.
Note:
Consult Windows manual and / or Novell Netware user’s guide for the
software installation, configuration, operation of the network.
