Getting to Know the HP TouchSmart PC 15

Setting up a wired home network

First-time wired network installation requires that you:

1 Purchase high-speed Internet service from an Internet service provider (ISP).

2 Purchase a broadband modem (DSL or cable). This may be provided by the ISP.

3 Purchase and install a wired router (sold separately), if one is required.

4 Connect the DSL cable (shown) or coaxial cable (not shown) from the wall to the modem.

5 Connect the modem to the computer Ethernet port with an Ethernet cable. If you want to connect

multiple devices to the network, connect a router or hub (not shown) to the modem with an Ethernet

cable, and then connect the computer to the router with an Ethernet cable.

If you have an actual wired network in your home with Ethernet connectors in the wall, connect directly

from your computer Ethernet port to the Ethernet wall connector with an Ethernet cable.

The Ethernet port on the HP TouchSmart PC is located on the back of the computer, behind the

connector cover. For clean cable management, route the cable through the cable router clip on the

back of the PC (shown), then route the cable through the notch in the back stand (not shown), then

close the back connector cover.

NOTE: Broadband modem and router installation procedures vary, depending on the manufacturer.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
