Connecting External Devices
When connecting external devices to your system, follow these guidelines:
•
Most devices must be connected to a specific connector and device drivers
must be installed before the device operates properly. (Device drivers are
normally included with your operating system software or with the device
itself.) See the documentation that accompanied the device for specific
installation and configuration instructions.
•
Always attach external devices while your system is turned off. Next, turn
on any external devices before turning on the system (unless the
documentation for the device specifies otherwise).
