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 connect or disconnect any power or peripheral

device cables when the computer’s power is on.

Never turn on the computer with a protector card in the

diskette drive.

Never turn on the computer when its cover is off.

Never turn off or reset your computer while a disk drive

light is on. This can destroy data stored on disk.

Always wait at least five seconds after you turn off the

power before you turn it on again. This allows the

computer to clear and reset its memory.

Do not leave a beverage near your system or any of its

components. Spilled liquid can damage the circuitry of

your equipment.
