Setting Up Your Mac mini

Place your Mac mini right side up on a firm surface. Use only the power cord that came
with your Mac mini; other power cords may not work.

Important: 

Cooling air enters your Mac mini through the gap around the bottom cover

and exits through the vent on the back. Don’t place your Mac mini on a soft surface
(such as a blanket or deep carpet) that interferes with airflow around the bottom cover,
and don’t block the back vent.

Step 1:

Plug the power cord into the back of your Mac mini, and then plug the

other end into a power outlet.
