LAN 
The computer is equipped with LAN circuits that support Ethernet LAN 
(10 megabits per second, 10BASE-T) and Fast Ethernet LAN (100 
megabits per second, 100BASE-Tx). This section describes how to 
connect/disconnect to a LAN. 
Do not install or remove an optional memory module while Wake-up on 
LAN is enabled. 
Wake-up on LAN does not work without the AC adaptor. Leave it 
connected, if you are using this feature. 
Connecting LAN cable 
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. 
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. 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 
3. 
Plug the other end of the cable into a LAN hub connector. Check with 
your LAN administrator before connecting to a hub.
