Setting Up Your Inspiron™ Desktop

Connect the Network Cable (Optional)

NOTE: The exact location of connectors may be different than what is shown.

A network connection is not required to complete your computer setup, but if you have an existing network or Internet connection that uses a cable connection (such as a home cable modem or Ethernet jack), you can connect it now. Use only an Ethernet cable (RJ45 connector). Do not plug a telephone cable

(RJ11 connector) into the network connector.

To attach your computer to a network or broadband device, connect one end of the network cable to either a network port or a broadband device. Connect the other end of the network cable to the network adapter connector on the back panel of your computer. A click indicates that the network cable has been securely attached.
