Powering Up

Before you power up your QX-10, check to see that the power switch is OFF. Then plug the power cable into the wall outlet and turn the main unit around so that the front faces you.

Now, unless your option card manual contains special instruc- tions, you’re ready to power up your QX-10.

Caution: Always wait at least 5 seconds after switching OFF power before switching power back ON. Failure to wait can damage your computer.

Removing Option Cards

Follow the earlier steps for powering down and removing the cover. Then detach any cables connected to the option card and slide the card straight up and out of the notched guides.

Be sure to rewrap the card (preferably with the original packing materials) and place it inside the carton for safe storage.

Replace the cover as described previously. Then follow the procedure for powering up and inform the QX-10 of what you’ve just removed, by using the appropriate procedure for your operating system, as described in your option card manual.
