The illustration on the next page shows all the equipment you will need to set up your computer and begin using it. (Note that your monitor and keyboard may look slightly different depending on what you purchased.)

Before following the setup instructions in this chapter, you may want to read “Arranging Your Office” in Appendix A for tips on adjusting your work furniture so that you’re comfortable when using the computer.

This chapter describes the basics of setting up your computer: plugging it in; connecting a monitor, keyboard, and mouse; and turning it on for the first time. For information on connecting and installing other equipment, such as external hard disks, printers, audio equipment, memory, and expansion cards, see Chapter 7, “Connecting Additional Equipment” and Chapter 8, “Installing PCI Expansion Cards and Additional Memory,” after you have followed the instructions in this chapter to set up your computer.
