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
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.
