Plug In and Go!

If a cable is disconnected or
you move your computer to
another location, this topic
helps you to quickly set up
again.

It’s a good idea to purchase a
surge protector to protect your
computer from electrical
spikes and power surges.

The Quick Set-Up poster that
came with your computer is a
visual guide to setting up your
computer.
