Setting up your computer

WARNING!
Place the computer in a location away from water, dust, moisture, and soot. These environmental
●
factors can increase the temperature inside your computer or cause fire or electrocution.
Do not disable the power cord grounding pin. The grounding pin is an important safety feature.
●
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
●
Disconnect power from the equipment by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet. To prevent
●
direct exposure to the laser beam, do not try to open the enclosure of the CD or DVD drive.
The power supply is preset for the country or region in which you purchased your computer. If you move,
●
check the voltage requirements for your new location before plugging the computer into an AC outlet.

1. Place the computer so that all ventilation openings are unobstructed and cabling is not in a walkway or
where it can be stepped on or damaged by placing furniture on it.
2. When connecting all power cords from the monitor, computer, and accessories to an uninterruptible
power supply (UPS), it is recommended that you use a power surge protection detection device. If the
computer has a television tuner, or a modem or telephone connection, protect the computer by using
surge protection with these signal inputs as well. Connect the television cable or the telephone line cord
to the surge protection device, and then connect the device to the computer.
3. Download and install operating system updates.
a. Find out what operating system and version your computer is currently running.
Select the Start button, select Settings, select System, and then select About.
b. Go to http://www.hp.com/support.
c. Select Find your product, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Look in the computer box for additional printed details or updates.
After you complete the initial computer setup, you might want to install additional hardware devices or
software. Check the operating system, memory, and other requirements listed for these items before
purchasing them for your computer. Follow the software manufacturer's directions to install the new
software.
NOTE: Use only licensed original software. Installing copied software could result in an unstable
installation, infect the computer with a virus, or be illegal.
NOTE: A security solution is designed as a deterrent, but it might not be able to prevent theft, mishandling,
or software attacks.
