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 any other
equipment to your Macintosh, follow the instructions in this section to plug it
in. The plug grounds the computer and protects it from electrical damage
while you set up. When you are ready to begin, follow these steps:
1
Make sure the voltage switch on the back of the computer is set for the kind of voltage
system to which you will be connecting.
The voltage switch must be set correctly to avoid damaging your computer. If
you don’t know the voltage used in the country you’re in, refer to the table
“Voltages for Different Locations” later in this chapter.
Set the switch to show “115” for
voltages in the 100–130 V range.
Set the switch to show “230” for
voltages in the 200–270 V range.
Check to see that the voltage switch
on the back of your computer is
properly set before you plug it in.
If you need to change the setting,
insert a small screwdriver in this
slot and slide the switch.
WARNING
Setting the correct voltage for your computer does not set the
voltage for your monitor even if the monitor’s power cord is connected
directly to your computer. To protect your monitor, be sure to use the
appropriate adapter or voltage converter, if one is necessary.
