NOTICE:

Do not plug a telephone cable into the network adapter

connector.

Use the network adapter connector to attach your computer to a network

or broadband device. Connect one end of a network cable to either a

network jack or your network or broadband device, and then connect the

other end of the network cable to the network adapter connector on your

computer. A click indicates that the network cable has been securely

attached.

On computers with an additional network connector card, use the

connectors on the card and on the back of the computer when setting up

multiple network connections (such as a separate intra- and extranet).

NOTE:

It is recommended that you use Category 5 wiring and connectors

for your network. If you must use Category 3 wiring, force the network

speed to 10 Mbps to ensure reliable operation.

subwoofer/LFE

connector

Use the (orange) subwoofer connector to attach a single subwoofer.

NOTE:

The LFE (Low Frequency Effects) Audio channel, found in digital

surround sound audio schemes, carries only low frequency information of

80 Hz and below. The LFE channel drives a subwoofer to provide

extremely low bass extension. Systems not using subwoofers can shunt

the LFE information to the main speakers in the surround sound setup.
