Enabling Ethernet

Your computer comes with a preinstalled Ethernet interface. To enable faster startup, your computer may ship with this function disabled. You can enable Ethernet connectivity by following the instructions below.

Warning: Your computer has a protective sticker covering the Ethernet port located on the rear panel. Connect only 10Base-T and 100Base-TX cables to the Ethernet port. Using other cables or a telephone cable may result in an electric current overload and can cause a malfunction, excessive heat or fire in the port. For help on connecting to a network, see your network administrator.
