link integrity light

 

• Green — A good connection exists between a 10-Mbps network and the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

computer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Orange — A good connection exists between a 100-Mbps network and the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

computer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Yellow — A good connection exists between a 1000-Mbps (1-Gbps) network and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the computer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Off — The computer is not detecting a physical connection to the network.

NOTICE: Do not plug a telephone cable into the network connector.

 

connector

 

Use the network adapter connector to attach your computer to a network or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

broadband device. Connect one end of a network cable to either a network jack or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

your network or broadband device, and then connect the other end of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

network cable to the network adapter connector on your computer. A click

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

indicates that the network cable has been securely attached.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On computers with an additional network connector card, use the connectors on

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the card and on the back of the computer when setting up multiple network

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

connections (such as a separate intra- and extranet).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: It is recommended 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.

network activity light

 

Flashes a yellow light 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.

 

 

 

 

4USB 2.0 connectors (2) Use the back, rear-dual USB connectors for devices that typically remain

(rear dual)

connected, such as printers and keyboards.

 

NOTE: It is recommended that you use the front USB connectors for devices that

 

you connect occasionally, such as joysticks, cameras, or bootable USB devices.
