Connecting a Network or Broadband Modem Cable

Before you connect your computer to a network, the computer must have a network adapter installed

and a network cable (RJ-45) connected to it.

1. Connect the network cable to the network adapter connector at the back of your computer.

NOTE: Insert the cable connector until it clicks into place, and then gently pull the cable to

ensure that it is securely attached.

2. Connect the other end of the network cable to a network connection device or a network wall

connector.

NOTE: Do not use a network cable with a telephone wall connector.
