limits, use a category 5 Ethernet cable.

Audio line out connector

Used to send audio signals from the computer to external

 

devices, such as powered stereo speakers (speakers with built-in

 

amplifiers), headphones (greater than 18 ohms), multimedia

 

keyboards, or the audio line in connector on a stereo system or

 

other external recording device.

Audio line in connector

Used to receive audio signals from an external audio device,

 

such as a stereo system. When you attach an external audio

 

device, a cable is connected between the audio line out

 

connector of the device and the audio line in connector of the

 

computer.

Microphone connector

Used to attach a microphone to your computer when you want

 

to record voice or other sounds on the hard disk using

 

speech-recognition software.

Home PNA network adapter

Some models might have a Home Phoneline Network Alliance network adapter with an integrated V.90 modem. In addition to its modem function, this adapter enables you to use the telephone wiring in your home for peer-to-peer networking. To use the Home PNA Network adapter, you must install the Intel AnyPoint™ software from the Software Selections CD. Each computer on the home PNA network must have a PNA network adapter and the associated software installed. For information about using the PNA network adapter or the AnyPoint software, refer to the AnyPoint documentation (provided with models that come with PNA network adapters only).
