First use

The operating system and all hardware drivers are already preinstalled. You do not need to run any of the discs supplied.
For some programs (e.g. telephone CDs or encyclopaedias, it may be necessary to insert the relevant disc in order to call up
the data saved on it. Where this is the case, the software will prompt you to do this.
Once all connections have been established and all necessary connections have been screwed tight, you can start up your PC:

Starting up the PC

 Switch the monitor on.
 Switch on the mains switch by moving it to position I. (Set this switch to 0 to disconnect the power supply).
 Press the On/Off switch once to turn on your PC.
Your PC will now start up and run through the various startup steps.
PLEASE NOTE!
There should be no bootable disk (e.g. the recovery disc) in the optical drive as this will prevent the operating system
from being loaded from the hard drive.
The operating system is loaded from the hard drive. The loading process takes a little longer during the initial setup. Once all
the necessary data has been entered, the operating system will be set up. The operating system is fully loaded once the Win-
dows® 8 startup screen appears.
NOTE!
The initial installation may take a few minutes. Do not unplug the PC from the mains or switch it off during the initial in-
stallation. This may adversely affect the installation. Do not switch the PC off until after the installation has been com-
pleted successfully and the startup screen appears.
Follow the instructions on the screen. Step-by-step instructions will guide you through the process to be followed.
The welcome procedure takes you through several screens and dialogues.
 Select your desired language and then the desired country.
