Connecting other equipment
If you are new to the Macintosh, it’s a good idea to get some experience using
your computer before you connect other equipment, such as a printer or
scanner. To learn basic Macintosh skills, continue with the instructions in
this chapter.
When you’re ready to connect other equipment to your Macintosh, see the
instructions in Chapter 3.
Turning the computer on
To turn on the computer for the first time, follow these steps:
1
Turn on your monitor.
See the information that came with your monitor for the location of the power
switch. On Apple monitors, the power switch is usually located on the front of
the unit.
By the way: When the monitor is plugged into the computer, you only need
to turn on the monitor once. From now on, the monitor will turn off
automatically when you shut down the computer, and it will turn on
automatically when you start up the computer. (If the monitor is not plugged
into the computer, it must be turned on separately each time you turn on the
computer.)
WARNING
Before turning on the computer for the first time, be sure the
voltage switch is set correctly for the type of voltage system to which
you are connecting. See “Plugging In the Computer,” earlier in this
chapter, for instructions on setting the voltage switch. If the switch is
not set correctly, you can damage your computer.
