3Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole grounded outlet or power strip. The plug grounds the computer and protects it from electrical damage while you set up.

Important Make sure the computer is located near an outlet or power strip and that you can easily reach the plug to disconnect the computer in an emergency. The only way to completely disconnect power from the computer is by unplugging one end of the power cord from the outlet or power strip or from the back of the computer.

Warning This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. Your Macintosh is equipped with a three-wire grounding plug–a plug that has a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only a grounded AC outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug!
