Setting Up Your PC

WARNING: The power supply is preset for the country/region in which you purchased your PC. If you move, please check the voltage requirements before plugging your PC into an AC power outlet.

WARNING: Please read “Safety Information” in the Warranty and Support Guide before installing and connecting your PC to the electrical power system.

Putting Your PC Together

Follow the steps on the setup poster to set up your PC.

Look in the PC box for printed details or updates regarding your model PC.

Placing your PC in the proper location

When setting up your new PC, place it where ventilation openings are unobstructed. Make sure all connections are secure and all cabling is out of the way of walkways and will not be stepped on or run over by furniture.

Using surge protection

Help protect your monitor, PC, and accessories by connecting all power cords for your PC and peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, or scanner) to a surge-protection device such as a power strip with surge protection or uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Many surge protection devices have surge-protection inputs and outputs for modem/phone lines. Phone lines are a common path for lightning spikes to get into your system. Some surge protection devices have surge protection for television cable connections as well: Use those if your PC has a television tuner installed.
