LAN Module Option
This notebook comes with an optional internal 10Base-T/100Base-TX LAN
module that connects your computer to other computers/networks through a
local area network (LAN) and supports data transfer rates at 10Mbps and can
be up to 100Mbps. The 10Base-T standard also called Twisted Pair Ethernet
is connected with RJ-45 connectors. The 100Base-TX is based on the older
Ethernet standard. Because it is 10 times faster than Ethernet, it is often
referred to as Fast Ethernet.
CONNECTING THE INTERNAL LAN MODULE
The built-in LAN module provides a standard RJ-45 connector. We provide
you a twisted-pair cable for your convenience.
To connect the twisted-pair cable to your LAN port:

Your computer comes with standard 32 or 64MB of synchronous DRAM
(SDRAM). You can increase system memory to a maximum of 256 MB in the
system, by installing one small outline double inline memory modules (SODIMMs) with installed base memory in the system.
The 32MB memory module, 64MB memory module, and 128MB memory
module are available:
To install the memory module:
1.
Make sure the system is powered off and that no peripheral devices are
attached.
2.
Turn the system over and locate the screw that secure the DIMM door at

module already installed in the socket.)
+ Avoid touching the exposed components inside the system. Doing so may
damage the system.
6.
Align the notch with the notch in the socket connector and insert the
module as follows:
Ÿ Hold the SO-DIMM at a 30-degree angle and align the SO-DIMM
connector with the socket in the system. Push the connector into
the socket.
Ÿ Press down on the edge of the SO-DIMM until the locking tabs on
the sides snap into place, securing the module.
7.
Replace the DIMM door and secure the screw at the DIMM door.
8.
