Setting Up a Home and Office Network
Connecting to a Network Adapter

installed and a network cable connected to it.
To connect a network cable:
1 Connect the network cable to the network adapter connector on the back of your
computer.
NOTE: Insert the cable until it clicks into place, and then gently pull it to ensure that it is
secure.
2
Connect the other end of the network cable to a network connection device, such as a
network wall jack.
NOTE: Do not use a network cable with a telephone wall jack.
