Operating Basics
LAN
The computer has built-in support for Ethernet LAN (10 megabits per
second, 10BASE-T), Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second,
100BASE-Tx) and Gigabit Ethernet LAN (1000 megabits per second,
1000BASE-T). Some models are equipped with a Gigabit Ethrnet LAN.
This section describes how to connect/disconnect to a LAN.
LAN cable types
If you are using Gigabit Ethernet LAN (1000 megabits per second,
1000BASE-T), be sure to connect with a CAT5 cable or a CAT5E cable.
(A CAT5E cable is recommended.) You cannot use a CAT3 cable.
If you are using Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second, 100BASE-
TX), be sure to connect with a CAT5 cable. You cannot use a CAT3 cable.
If you are using Ethernet LAN (10 megabits per second, 10BASE-T), you can
connect with either a CAT5 or a CAT3.
Connecting LAN cable
To connect the LAN cable, follow the steps below.
1. Turn off the power to the computer and to all external devices connected
to the computer.
2. Plug one end of the cable into the LAN jack. Press gently until you hear
the latch click into place.
Connecting the LAN cable
Do not install or remove an optional memory module while Wake-up on LAN
is enabled.
The Wake-up on LAN function consumes power even when the system is
off. Leave the AC adaptor connected while using this feature.
The computer must be configured properly before connecting to a LAN.
Logging onto a LAN using the computer’s default settings could cause a
malfunction in LAN operation. Check with your LAN administrator regarding
set-up procedures.
