Ethernet connector

Connect your computer to a LAN with the Ethernet connector.

DANGER

To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not connect the telephone cable to the Ethernet connector. You can only connect an Ethernet cable to this connector.

Two indicators, to the upper right and left of the connector, show the status of the network connection. When your computer connects to a LAN and a session with the network is available, the upper right indicator is solid green. While data is being transmitted, the upper left indicator blinks yellow.

For details, refer to the instructions in “Access Connections” on page 34.

Note: If you attach your computer to the ThinkPad Port Replicator Series 3, ThinkPad Mini Dock Series 3, or ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 and use an Ethernet connector, use the Ethernet connector on the ThinkPad Port Replicator Series 3, ThinkPad Mini Dock Series 3, or ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3, not the one on the computer.

Always On USB connector

The Universal Serial Bus connectors are used for connecting devices compatible with a USB interface, such as a printer or a digital camera.

By default, even if your computer is in sleep (standby) mode, the Always On USB connector still enables you to charge some devices, such as iPod®, iPhone, and BlackBerry® smartphones, by attaching the devices to the connector.

However, with the ac power adapter attached, if you want to charge these devices when your computer is in hibernation mode or powered off, you will need to open the Power Manager program and configure corresponding settings to enable the Always On USB connector function. For details about how to enable the Always On USB connector function, refer to the on-line help of the Power Manager program.

Note: Your computer is compatible with USB 1.1 and 2.0.
