Turning On the Computer
After you set up your system, you're ready to turn on the
power. But first, read the following safety rules to avoid
accidentally damaging your computer or injuring yourself:
Do not connect or disconnect any power or peripheral
device cables when the computer's power is on.
Never turn on the computer with a protector card in the
diskette drive.
Never turn on the computer when its cover is off.
Never turn off or reset your computer while a disk drive
light is on. This can destroy data stored on disk.
Always wait at least five seconds after you turn off the
power before you turn it on again. This allows the
computer to clear and reset its memory.
