adequate ventilation, and a stable level surface
to place your computer.

Setting Up Your Studio One
Connect the Network Cable
(Optional)
A network connection is not required to
complete this computer setup, but if you have
an existing network or Internet connection

it now.
Use only an Ethernet cable (RJ45 connector).
Do not plug a telephone cable (RJ11 connector)
into the network connector.
To attach your computer to a network or
broadband device, connect one end of a
network cable to either a network port or a
broadband device. Connect the other end of the
network cable to the network adapter connector
on the back panel of your computer. A click
indicates that the network cable has been
securely attached.
