Turning the computer on for the first time
To turn the computer on for the first time, follow these steps:
1 Turn on your monitor.
Note: You may not see the monitor power come on until you turn on the
computer in the next step. Also, larger monitors can take several seconds to
turn on if you have extra DRAM installed in your computer.
See the information that came with your monitor for the location of the power
switch. On newer Apple monitors, the power switch is located on the front of
the unit.
By the way: Depending on the type of monitor you have, you may only need
to turn it on once. Some monitors turn off automatically when you shut
down the computer, and turn on automatically when you start up the
computer. Other monitors have to be turned on separately each time you
turn on the computer.
2 Press the Power key (marked with a π ) on your keyboard.
You hear a tone from the computer as it starts up.
