Setting Up
Your Computer
If a cable is disconnected or
you move your computer to
another location, this topic
helps you to quickly set up
again.
It’s a good idea to purchase a
surge protector to protect your
computer from electrical
spikes and power surges.
The Quick Set-Up poster that
came with your computer is a
visual guide to setting up your
computer.
If you have home networking,
refer to the home networking
documentation for instructions
on connecting your phone
lines.
