Apple Mac mini (Mid 2011) - Manual (Page 8)

8 Chapter 1 Ready, Set Up, Go
Your Mac mini is designed so that you can easily set it up and start using it right away.
If you’ve never used a Mac mini or are new to Mac computers, read this section for
instructions about getting started.
Important: Before you plug your Mac mini into a power outlet, read all the installation
instructions and the safety information in Chapter 5, “Important Safety Information” on
page 66.
If you’re an experienced user, you may already know enough to get started. Make sure
you look over the information in Chapter 2, “Life with Your Mac mini” on page 27 to find
out about the features of your Mac mini.
 If you know you won’t be migrating information from another Mac, and you’d like
to get started using your Mac mini right away, you can use Setup Assistant to set up
your Mac mini quickly. For more information, see “Setting Up with Setup Assistant” on
page 17.
 If you want to migrate information from another Mac to your Mac mini, you can use
Setup Assistant to specify the computer whose information you want to transfer. For
more information, see “Setting Up with Setup Assistant” on page 17.
 After you set up your Mac mini, if you want to get content from DVDs or CDs onto
your Mac mini, you can set up one or more Mac or Windows computers to partner
with your Mac mini. For more information, see “Setting Up DVD or CD Sharing” on
page 20.
