Connecting the components

See Chapter 1, “Introducing...”, if you need help identifying the various ports on the system unit.

Checking the AC power supply

When the computer is delivered, it is ready for the commercial AC power supply generally available in the country in which it is first sold. It has been set for the correct voltage range, and is supplied with an AC power cord and plug which comply with the relevant safety standards.

Before using the computer in a country other than that in which it was originally sold, you must check the voltage and frequency of that country’s AC power supply, and the type of power cord required there. Check the power rating labels on the rear of the computer’s system unit and its monitor to ensure that they are compatible with the AC power supply.

If necessary, the AC voltage setting of the system unit can be adjusted by the voltage selection switch on the rear of the system unit. Refer to the chapter on “Maintaining and Transporting”, for instructions on how to do this. It is likely that the monitor’s voltage setting will also need adjusting; consult the User’s Guide that accompanies the monitor, or ask your supplier for help.

Installing add-on options

If the computer arrived with uninstalled add-on options, (such as expansion cards or memory modules) consult the relevant chapters in this Owner’s Handbook for step-by-step installation instructions. Expansion cards may also have their own documentation that supplements or overrides the instructions in this manual.

Note that some options for which you have installation guides may have already been installed for you at the factory or by your supplier.
