Overview
Welcome to your new PC. This chapter provides information on:
preparing your PC to be ready to use:
connecting the keyboard and mouse
connecting the display
connecting a printer
connecting to a network
connecting the power cords
starting the PC and setting up the software
setting a User Password and Screen Blanking to prevent unauthorized access to your
PC.
setting Power Management to save power when your PC is not in use.
Install any additional main and video memory inside the PC before you switch it on for the
first time. This is because models supplied with a hard disk drive have software preloaded.
When you first switch on the PC a special startup routine automatically runs. This configures
the preloaded software and video drivers. For information on installing accessories, refer to
the Setting Up Your PC manual supplied with your PC.
WARNING
For your safety, always connect the equipment to a grounded wall outlet.
Always use a power cord supplied with your PC or one with a properly
grounded plug. Ensure that the cable meets your country's standards for
safety.
