Turning On the Computer

After you set up your system, you’re ready to turn on the power.

But first, read the following safety rules to avoid accidentally

damaging your computer or injuring yourself:

Do not unplug cables from the computer when the power is

on.

Never turn on the computer with a protector card in the

diskette drive.

Never turn off or reset your computer while a disk drive

light is on. This can destroy data stored on disk or make an

entire disk unusable.

Always wait at least five seconds after you turn off the

power before you turn it on again. Turning the power off

and on rapidly can damage the computer’s circuitry.

Do not leave a beverage on top of or next to your system or

any of its components. Spilled liquid can damage the
circuitry of your equipment.

Always turn off the power, disconnect the computer’s power

cord, and wait five seconds before you remove the cover.

Only remove the cover to access optional devices or change

jumper settings.

Follow these steps to turn on your system:

1.

Make sure the power cord is plugged into the AC power

inlet on the back panel of the computer and into a three-

prong, 120-volt, grounded electrical outlet.

2.

Turn your computer around so the front panel faces you and

place your other system components in an arrangement that

suits you. (See step 1, “Choosing a Location,” for a typical
arrangement.)
