WARNING!

To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug a

modem cable or telephone cable into an RJ-45 (network) jack.

Connecting to a local area network (LAN)

Use a LAN connection if you want to connect the computer directly to a router in your home (instead

of working wirelessly), or if you want to connect to an existing network at your office.
Connecting to a LAN requires an 8-pin, RJ-45 network cable.
To connect the network cable, follow these steps:

1.

Plug the network cable into the network jack (1) on the computer.

2.

Plug the other end of the network cable into a network wall jack (2) or router.

NOTE:

If the network cable contains noise suppression circuitry (3), which prevents

interference from TV and radio reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable toward the

computer.
