Starting your system

Before you start your system for the first time:

■Make sure that the voltage selector switch on the back of the computer is still set to the correct voltage for your area. This switch is set at the factory to the correct voltage (see “Rear panel” on page 3 for voltage selector switch location.)

■Make sure all cables are firmly connected to the proper ports on the rear panel of the computer.

Caution Make sure your computer and peripherals are turned off and unplugged from the power outlet when you connect peripherals to the computer.

■Make sure the computer and monitor are plugged into an AC outlet or power strip.

To start the system:

1If you have connected the system components to a power strip, make sure all the system components are turned off, then turn on the power strip.

2Turn on the monitor by pressing the power button.
