setting up multiple network connections (such as a separate intra-

 

 

 

and extranet).

 

 

 

NOTE: Dell recommends that you use Category 5 wiring and

 

 

 

connectors for your network. If you must use Category 3 wiring,

 

 

 

force the network speed to 10 Mbps to ensure reliable operation.

digital surround sound audio schemes, carries only low frequency

 

 

 

information of 80 Hz and below. The LFE channel drives a subwoofer

 

 

 

to provide extremely low bass extension. Systems not using

 

 

 

subwoofers can shunt the LFE information to the main speakers in

 

 

 

the surround sound setup.

connector

through an analog audio conversion process.

 

14

USB 2.0

Use the back USB connectors for devices that typically remain

 

 

connectors (6)

connected, such as printers and keyboards.

 

 

 

NOTE: Dell recommends that you use the front USB connectors for

 

 

 

devices that you connect occasionally, such as flash memory keys,

 

 

 

cameras, or bootable USB devices.
