Plugging in the computer

SImportant: To protect both yourself and the computer from electrical hazards, the computer should remain turned off until you are finished connecting its parts. Check the main power switch at the back of the computer. Make sure that the bottom of the switch (marked with an “j”) is pressed in. S
