Turning On the Computer

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

power. Check the following safety precautions to avoid

accidentally damaging your computer or injuring yourself:

q

Do not connect or disconnect any peripheral device cables

(including the mouse or keyboard) or power cables unless

the computer power is off.

q

Never turn off or reset your computer while a disk drive

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

q

Never turn on the computer with a protective card in the

diskette drive.

q

Always wait about 20 seconds after you turn off the power

before you turn it on again to prevent damage to the

computer’s electrical circuitry.

q

Do not leave a beverage near your system. Spilled liquid

can damage the circuitry.

Follow these steps to turn on the system:

1. Turn your computer around so the front panel faces you.

Place your monitor, printer, and other devices in a

convenient arrangement.

2. If there is a protective card in the diskette drive, remove it.

3. Turn on the monitor, printer, and any other devices connected

to the computer.
