Modem and LAN Connections (optional)
The built-in modem and fast-Ethernet model will come with an external cable for connection to
RJ-45 Ethernet cabling or to RJ-11 phone cabling. The connector can only be inserted in one orien-
tation and has a triangular icon (or brand name) to represent the top side of the connector. Connect
the modem and LAN cable set as shown here. The RJ-11 connector connects to a phone outlet
usually in the walls of homes and some commercial buildings (some commercial building may use
phone systems with different wiring) via a telephone wire. The RJ-45 connector connects to a hub
or switch via an Ethernet cable.
NOTE: The built-in modem and fast-Ethernet is a manufacturer’s option and cannot be upgraded
at a later time. Modem and/or LAN can only be installed later as a PCMCIA card.
WARNING! The built-in modem does not support the voltage used in digital phone systems.
Do not connect the RJ-11 to digital phone systems or else damage will occur to
the Notebook PC.
WARNING! The modem and/or LAN cable must be removed before transit to prevent dam-
age to the connector.
