To connect the network cable, follow these steps:

1.Plug the network cable into the network jack (1) on the computer.

2.Plug the other end of the network cable into a network wall jack (2) or router.

NOTE: If the network cable contains noise suppression circuitry (3), which prevents interference from TV and radio reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable toward the computer.
