Plugging in the computer
Before you plug your Macintosh into a wall socket, carefully read all the
setup instructions in this chapter. Then, before you connect anything to your
computer, follow the instructions in this section on how to plug it in. The
plug grounds the computer and protects it from electrical damage while you
set up.
When you are ready, follow these steps:
1
Plug the socket end of the computer’s power cord into the recessed power cord socket
(marked with the symbol
≤
) on the back of the computer.
2
Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole grounded outlet or power strip.
Make sure at least one end of the power cord is within reach so that when you
need to unplug the computer you can do so easily.
WARNING
This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. Your
Macintosh is equipped with a three-wire grounding plug—a plug that
has a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only a grounded AC outlet.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly
grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug!
