Setting Up

The illustration on the preceding page shows all the equipment you need to set up your
computer and begin using it. (The monitor you purchased may look different.)

After you set up and turn on your computer, you can get additional information on
ergonomics, health and safety considerations, and maintenance in the electronic
documentation included with your computer’s software.

If you plan to use your computer as a server or if you want to install additional drives,
memory, or PCI cards inside the computer before you set up, turn to Chapter 2, “Working
Inside the Computer,” on page 25.

Positioning the Computer

You can pick up the computer by any of its handles.

Place the computer on a sturdy, flat surface near a grounded wall outlet. Your computer is
designed to be placed on the floor to conserve desk space, but you can place it on any stable,
flat surface.

Position the computer so that
m the CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or DVD-RAM drive tray has space to open in front
m the power cord connector does not press against a wall or other object
m nothing obstructs air flow to the fan in the rear of the computer
