Hardware Setup

Network Card

Your notebook has an RJ-45 (network) jack, an internal network interface card (NIC), and preinstalled network drivers.

Connecting a Network Cable

A network cable has an 8-pin RJ-45 network connector at each end and may contain noise suppression circuitry, which prevents interference with TV and radio reception.

To connect the network cable:

1.Confirm that the existing network supports Ethernet 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T connections.

2.If the network cable contains noise suppression circuitry 1, plug the circuitry end of the network cable 2 into the RJ-45 jack on the back of the notebook.

3.Plug the other end of the cable 3 into an RJ-45 wall jack.
