100BASE-TX). This section describes how to connect/disconnect to a LAN.

LAN cable types

If you are using Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second, 100BASE-

TX), be sure to connect with a CAT5 cable or higher. You cannot use a

CAT3 cable.
If you are using Ethernet LAN (10 megabits per second, 10BASE-T), you

can connect with a CAT3 or higher cable.

Connecting the LAN cable

To connect the LAN cable, follow the steps as detailed below:

Do not install or remove a 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 Link speed (10/100 megabits per second) changes automatically

depending on the network conditions (connected device, cable or

noise and so on).

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.

■

Connect the AC adaptor before connecting the LAN cable. The AC

adaptor must remain connected during LAN use. If you disconnect the

AC Adaptor while the computer is accessing a LAN, the system may

hang.

Do not connect any other cable to the LAN jack except the LAN cable

otherwise malfunctions or damage may occur.
