Dell 530 manual Network Connection Requirements

•A yellow network activity light flashes when the computer is transmitting or receiving network data. (A high volume of network traffic may make this light appear to be in a steady "on" state.)

•A dual-colored network link and speed light, which is green when a good connection exists between a 10-Mbpsnetwork and the computer, or is orange when a good connection exists between a 100-Mbps network and the computer. When the light is off, the computer is not detecting a physical connection to the network.

The network controller includes a Remote Wake Up feature. For more information, see "Network Operations" and "Power Management."

NOTICE: Do not connect a modem cable to the network adapter. Voltage from telephone communications can damage the network adapter.

Network Connection Requirements

Press one end of the UTP Ethernet cable into the network adapter on your computer until the cable snaps securely into place. Connect the other end to an RJ45 jack wall plate or to an RJ45 port on a UTP concentrator or hub, depending on your network configuration.

Dell recommends the use of Category 5 wiring and connectors for our customers' networks.

NOTE: Verify the type of network device to which you are connecting the computer. A hub typically operates at 10-Mbps. A switch can operate at 10- or 100-Mbps. Ensure that the network adapter is configured for the appropriate speed. See network adapter diagnostics and configuration utility on Dell Diagnostics.
