After you set up your system, you are ready to turn on the power. Use the illustration below to identify the parts of your system.
Before you turn on your computer, check the following safety rules to avoid accidentally damaging your computer or injuring yourself:
Do not connect or disconnect any peripheral device cables (including the keyboard or a mouse) or power cables when the computer’s power is on.
Never turn off or reset your computer while a disk drive light is on. This can destroy data stored on the disk.
Always wait at least 20 seconds after you turn off the power before you turn it on again. This prevents possible damage to the computer’s electrical circuitry.
Do not leave a beverage near your system. Spilled liquid can damage the circuitry of your equipment.
