Follow the quick setup poster to set up your PC.

Look in the PC box for printed details or updates regarding your model PC.

When placing your PC, consider an ergonomic arrangement of the PC and your work area to maintain your comfort and productivity. Refer to “safety and comfort” on page 4.

WARNING: The power supply is pre-set for the country/region in which you purchased your PC. If you move, please check the voltage requirements before plugging your PC into an AC power outlet.

NOTE: Refer to “protecting your pc from power surges” on page 69 for information on protecting your PC.

Put your PC together in this order:

1Position the PC chassis and connect the power cord to the chassis and to the power outlet, but do not turn on the PC.

2Position the monitor (sold separately) and connect the power cord to the power outlet, but do not turn on the monitor. Connect the monitor cable to the PC.

3Position the keyboard and the mouse and connect each to the PC.

NOTE: Your PC uses active speakers only. Active speakers have a power cord and connect to the green Audio Out connector on the back of the PC. Passive speakers have no power cord or power switch.

4Position speakers (select monitor models include speakers), connect them to the PC, and then connect the speaker power cord to the power outlet, but do not turn on the speakers.
