For information on reinstalling audio drivers, reconfiguring the audio controller, or using the audio utilities provided with your system, see “Using the Audio Controller” in your online System User’s Guide. 1,& Your system may have an integrated 10/100-megabit-per-second (Mbps) 3Com PCI 3C905B-TX Ethernet NIC. The NIC provides all the functions of a separate network expansion card and supports both the 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet standards. The NIC includes a Wakeup On LAN feature that enables the computer to be started up by a special LAN signal from a server management console. Wakeup On LAN provides remote computer setup, software downloading and installation, file updates, and asset tracking after hours and on weekends when local area network (LAN) traffic is typically at a minimum. The NIC connector on the computer’s back panel has the following indicators (see Figure 4-1): . A yellowactivity indicator flashes when the system is transmitting or receiving network data. (A high volume of network traffic may make this indicator appear to be in a steady “on” state.) . A green link integrity indicator lights up when there is a good connection between the network and the NIC. When the green indicator is off, the computer is not detecting a physical connection to the network. )LJXUH,23RUWVDQG&RQQHFWRUV keyboard connector mouse connector serial port 2 connector USB connectors (2) parallel port connector optional integrated NIC connector line-out jack microphone jack video connector line-in jack link integrity activity indicator indicator serial port 1 connector 1HWZRUN&DEOH5HTXLUHPHQW.
