LAN
The computer has built-in support for Ethernet LAN (10 megabits per second,
10BASE-T) or Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second, 100BASE-
TX)(depending on model you purchased). This section describes how to connect/
disconnect to a LAN.

Connecting LAN cable

If you are using Fast Ethernet LAN (100 Mbit/s, 100BASE-TX), be sure to con-
nect with a category 5 cable, CAT5, or higher.
If you are using Ethernet LAN (10 Mbit/s, 10BASE-T), connect with a category
3 cable, CAT3, or higher.
To connect the LAN cable, follow the steps below.
1. Turn off the power to the computer and to all external devices connected to
the computer.
Do not install or remove an optional memory module while Wake-
up on LAN is enabled.
The Wake-up on LAN function consumes power even when the
system is off. Leave the AC adaptor connected while using this
feature.
The computer must be configured properly before connecting to a
LAN. Logging onto a LAN using the compu ter’s default settings
could cause a malfunction in LAN operation. Check with your
LAN administrator regarding set-up procedu res.
