Turning On the Computer

7
After you set up your system, you're ready to turn on the
power. Check the following safety precautions to avoid
accidentally damaging your computer or injuring yourself:
q Do not connect or disconnect any peripheral device cables
(including the mouse or keyboard) or power cables unless
the computer power is off.
q Never turn off or reset your computer while a disk drive
light is on. This can destroy data stored on the disk.
q Never turn on the computer with a protective card in the
diskette drive.
q Always wait about 20 seconds after you turn off the power
before you turn it on again to prevent damage to the
computer's electrical circuitry.
q Do not leave a beverage near your system. Spilled liquid
can damage the circuitry.
Follow these steps to turn on the system:
1. Turn your computer around so the front panel faces you.
Place your monitor, printer, and other devices in a
convenient arrangement.
2. If there is a protective card in the diskette drive, remove it.
3. Turn on the monitor, printer, and any other devices connected
to the computer.
