Plugging In Your Time Capsule

Before you plug in your Time Capsule, first connect the appropriate cables to the ports

you want to use:

Â

Connect the Ethernet cable that’s connected to your DSL or cable modem (if you will

connect to the Internet) to the Ethernet WAN (<

) port.

Â

Connect a USB cable connected from the USB (d

) port on your Time Capsule to

a compatible USB printer (if you will print to a USB printer), a hard disk, or a hub.

Â

Connect an Ethernet cable from any Ethernet device to the Ethernet LAN (G

) ports.

After you’ve connected the cables for all the devices you plan to use, connect the

power cord to the power port and plug your Time Capsule into a power outlet. There

is no power switch.

Important:

Use only the power cord that came with your Time Capsule.
