Besides this manual, you should have the following:
The computer and power cord
The Keyboard with attached cable
In addition to these items, you need a compatible monitor to use with the computer.
Be sure to keep your packing materials. They provide the best protection for your computer if you need to transport it later.
2 Choosing a location
Before you set up your computer, it is important to choose the right location. Select a spot that provides the following:
A large, sturdy desk or table that can easily support the weight of your system, including all of its components. Make sure the surface is hard and flat. Soft surfaces like beds and carpeted floors can generate static electricity, which may erase data on your disks and damage the computer’s circuitry. Soft surfaces also prevent proper ventilation.
Good air circulation. Air must be able to move freely under the system as well as behind it. Leave several inches of space around the computer to allow ventilation.
