Setting Up
Congratulations on purchasing your new Power Mac G4 computer. This chapter contains instructions for setting up your computer and display.
Positioning the Computer and Display
You can pick up the computer by any of its handles. If your monitor is heavy, be sure to use correct lifting techniques when positioning it. Position the computer and display so that
mthey are on sturdy, flat surfaces
mthe power cable connectors don’t press against a wall or other object
mnothing obstructs air flow in the rear of the display or computer
mthe computer’s CD or DVD drive tray has space to open in front
Important The only way to shut off power completely to your computer and display is to disconnect their power plugs from the power source. Make sure the power cords for your computer and display are within easy reach so you can quickly unplug them if necessary.
