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. 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.

NOTICE:

Do not plug a telephone cable into the network

connector.

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).

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.
