Overview

Welcome to your new PC. This chapter provides information on:

•preparing your PC to be ready to use:

◊◊ connecting the keyboard and mouse

◊◊ connecting the display

◊◊ connecting a printer

◊◊ connecting to a network

◊◊ connecting the power cords

◊◊ starting the PC and setting up the software

•setting a User Password and Screen Blanking to prevent unauthorized access to your

Install any additional main and video memory inside the PC before you switch it on for the

first time. This is because models supplied with a hard disk drive have software preloaded.

When you first switch on the PC a special startup routine automatically runs. This configures

the preloaded software and video drivers. For information on installing accessories, refer to

the Setting Up Your PC manual supplied with your PC.

WARNING For your safety, always connect the equipment to a grounded wall outlet.

Always use a power cord supplied with your PC or one with a properly

grounded plug. Ensure that the cable meets your country's standards for

safety.
