Getting Started/Setup

CAUTION: Before performing any of the procedures in this section, follow the
safety instructions in "CAUTION: Safety Instructions" on page 8.
NOTICE: If your computer has an expansion card installed (such as a network card), connect
the appropriate cable to the card, not to the connector on the computer back panel.
You must complete all steps to properly set up your computer. See the appropriate
illustrations that follow the instructions.
Connect the keyboard and mouse.
1
NOTICE: Do not attempt to operate a PS/2 mouse and a USB mouse simultaneously.
NOTE: If you have a Universal Serial Bus (USB)-compliant mouse or keyboard, use the USB
connectors on the back of your system.
Connect the modem or network cable.
2
Insert the network cable, not the phone line, into the network connector. If you have
an optional modem, connect the phone line to the modem.
NOTICE: Do not connect a modem cable to the network adapter. Voltage from telephone
communications can cause damage to the network adapter.
Connect the monitor.
3
Align and gently insert the monitor cable to avoid bending connector pins. Tighten
the thumbscrews on the cable connectors.
NOTE: Some monitors have the video connector underneath the back of the screen. See the
documentation that came with your monitor for its connector locations.
Connect the speakers.
4
Connect power cables to the computer, monitor, and devices and insert the other ends
5
of the power cables to electrical outlets.
Verify that the voltage selection switch is set correctly for your location. Your computer
6
has a manual voltage selection switch. Computers with a voltage selection switch on
the back panel must be manually set to operate at the correct operating voltage.
NOTICE: To help avoid damaging a computer with a manual voltage selection switch, set the
switch for the voltage that most closely matches the AC power available in your location.
Press the power buttons to turn on the computer and monitors.
