Connecting an IEEE 1394 Device (Optional)

IEEE 1394 devices can move large amounts of data between computers and peripheral devices and are ideal for use with multimedia devices, such as digital video cameras.

Your computer provides a IEEE 1394 connector on both the front and back panels (see "Front and Back View of the Computer" on page 53 for locations.)

NOTE: The connector can accept six-pin IEEE 1394 devices with the use of an adapter.

Connecting to a Network Adapter

Before you connect your computer to a network, the computer must have a network adapter installed and a network cable connected to it.

To connect a network cable:

1Connect the network cable to the network adapter connector on the back of your computer.

NOTE: Insert the cable until it clicks into place, and then gently pull it to ensure that it is secure.

2Connect the other end of the network cable to a network connection device, such as a network wall jack.

NOTE: Do not use a network cable with a telephone wall jack.
