2Connect the modem or network cable.

Insert the network cable, not the telephone line, into the network connector. If you have an optional modem, connect the telephone line to the modem.

NOTICE: Do not connect a modem cable to the network adapter connector. Voltage from telephone communications can cause damage to the network adapter.

3Connect the monitor.

Align and gently insert the monitor cable to avoid bending connector pins. Tighten the thumbscrews on the cable connectors.

NOTE: Some monitors have the video connector underneath the back of the screen. See the documentation that came with your monitor for its connector locations.

4Connect the speakers.

5Connect power cables to the computer, monitor, and devices and connect the other ends of the power cables to electrical outlets.

6Verify that the voltage selection switch is set correctly for your location.

Your computer has a manual voltage-selection switch. Computers with a voltage selection switch on the back panel must be manually set to operate at the correct operating voltage.

NOTICE: To help avoid damaging a computer with a manual voltage-selection switch, set the switch for the voltage that most closely matches the AC power available in your location.

NOTICE: In Japan, the voltage selection switch must be set to the 115-V position even though the AC power available in Japan is 100 V.

NOTE: Before you install any devices or software that did not ship with your computer, read the documentation that came with the device or software, or contact the vendor to verify that the device or software is compatible with your computer and operating system.

NOTE: Your computer may vary slightly from the following illustrations.
