3 Connecting Additional Equipment

Your computer at a glance

The illustration on the next page shows a basic Power Macintosh system, ready to use. (Remember that your monitor and keyboard may appear slightly different from the ones pictured here, depending on what you purchased.)

You can also expand your computer system by connecting other equipment to it. The illustration of your Power Macintosh system shows where equipment should be connected to your Macintosh.

For instructions on connecting audio equipment or SCSI devices, refer to the next two sections of this chapter. For instructions on connecting other equipment, such as a CD-ROM drive, see the manual that came with the equipment.

IMPORTANT Make sure each device you add is compatible with your computer and does not exceed the maximum power allowance for that device. If it is a SCSI or ADB device, make sure to turn off your computer before connecting the device. For further information, consult your Apple-authorized dealer, the manufacturer of the component you want to add, or the Technical Information booklet that came with your computer.
