<h3>Note there are FOUR (4) <em>different</em> power supply bricks</h3>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Powerbrick for Dell E4200 (Crowley)
|
|
<li>Powerbrick for Acer Aspire One (tclaspire3)
|
|
<li>Powerbrick for R61 Thinkpad (Aziraphale)
|
|
<li>Powerbrick for <a href="../i/wndr4000.jpg">Netgear WNDR4000</a> wifi/ethernet device
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>[Actually there may be 5 power bricks: the USB hub may need power too.]
|
|
<p>The Acer Aspire One (tclaspire3) and Dell E4200 (Crowley) each have internal, built-in wifi, but we do not use these and they are turned off (with a physical sliding-switch on the case) to reduce confusion.
|
|
<p>Aziraphale also has an ethernet socket and can be connected by ethernet cable to the network if convenient and if within-hut wifi is congested.
|
|
<p>The mains power plugs are illustrated with 2 pins for clarity, but they are all 3-pin UK-style pugs in reality.

<ul>
|
|
<li>The ethernet cable to the Asus Aspire One blue netbook (tclaspire3) goes into the yellow ethernet socket on its own.
|
|
<li>The cable to the expo laptop Crowley (and to Aziraphale and the printer if you want) go into any of the block of 4 ethernet sockets in a row together.
|
|
<li>We do not plug anything into the USB socket.
