LAN

The computer has built-in support for Fast Ethernet (10BASE-T/100BASE- TX) or Gigabit Ethernet (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T) depending the model you purchased. This section describes how to connect/disconnect to a LAN.

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.

LAN Cable Types

The computer must be configured properly before connecting to a LAN. Logging onto a LAN using the computer’s default settings could cause a malfunction in LAN operation. Check with your LAN administrator regarding set-up procedures.

If you are using Gigabit Ethernet LAN (1000 megabits per second, 1000BASE-T), be sure to connect with a CAT5E cable or higher. You cannot use a CAT3 or CAT5 cable.
