After purchase, modem and/or network can be installed as an expansion card. Modem Connection The telephone wire used to connect the Notebook PCs internal modem should have either two or four wires (only two wires (telephone line #1) is used by the modem) and should have an RJ-11 connector on both ends. Connect one end to the modem port and the other end to an analog telephone wall socket (the ones found in residential buildings). Once the driver is setup, the modem is ready to use. NOTE: When you are connected to an online service, do not place the Notebook PC in suspend (or sleep mode) or else you will disconnect the modem connection. Example of the Notebook PC connected to a telephone jack for use with the built-in modem:

Telephone connector is the smaller of the two. Telephone cables with RJ-11 connectors Telephone Wall Jack Telephone connection is optional WARNING! Only use analog telephone outlets. The built-in modem does not support the voltage used in digital phone systems. Do not connect the RJ-11 to digital phone systems found in many commercial buildings or else damage will occur!

CAUTION: For electrical safety concerns, only use telephone cables rated 26AWG or higher. (see Glossary for more information) 45 4 Using the Notebook PC Network Connection Connect a network cable, with RJ-45 connectors on each end, to the modem/network port on the Note-

book PC and the other end to a hub or switch. For 100 BASE-TX / 1000 BASE-T speeds, your network cable must be category 5 or better (not category 3) with twisted-pair wiring. If you plan on running the interface at 100/1000Mbps, it must be connected to a 100 BASE-TX / 1000 BASE-T hub (not a BASE-T4

on this Notebook PC but requires connection to a network switching hub with duplex enabled. The software default is to use the fastest setting so no user-intervention is required. 1000BASE-T (or Gigabit) is only supported on selected models. Twisted-Pair Cable

is called a straight-through Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE). The end connectors are called RJ-45 connectors, which are not compatible with RJ-11 telephone connectors. If connecting two computers together without a hub in between, a crossover LAN cable is required (Fast-Ethernet model). (Gigabit models support auto-crossover so a crossover LAN cable is optional.) Example of the Notebook PC connected to a Network Hub or Switch for use with the built-in Ethernet controller. LAN connector is the larger of the two.
