Use the network adapter connector to attach your computer to a
network or broadband device. Connect one end of a network cable
to either a network jack or your network or broadband device, and
then connect the other end of the network cable to the network
adapter connector on your computer. A click indicates that the
network cable has been securely attached.
On computers with an additional network connector card, use the
connectors on the card and on the back of the computer when
setting up multiple network connections (such as a separate intra-
and extranet).
