After you set up your system, you’re ready to turn on the power. Check the following safety precautions to avoid accidentally damaging your computer or injuring yourself:
qDo not connect or disconnect any peripheral device cables (including the mouse or keyboard) or power cables unless the computer power is off.
qNever turn off or reset your computer while a disk drive light is on. This can destroy data stored on the disk.
qNever turn on the computer with a protective card in the diskette drive.
qAlways wait about 20 seconds after you turn off the power before you turn it on again to prevent damage to the computer’s electrical circuitry.
qDo not leave a beverage near your system. Spilled liquid can damage the circuitry.
Follow these steps to turn on the system:
1.Turn your computer around so the front panel faces you. Place your monitor, printer, and other devices in a convenient arrangement.
2.If there is a protective card in the diskette drive, remove it.
3.Turn on the monitor, printer, and any other devices connected to the computer.
