2 Setting up your computer

WARNING! To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to your equipment:

●

Place the computer in a location away from water, dust, moisture, and soot. These environmental factors can increase the temperature inside your computer or cause fire or electrocution.

●

Do not disable the power cord grounding pin. The grounding pin is an important safety feature.

●

Plug the power cord into an AC outlet that is easily accessible at all times.

●

Disconnect power from the equipment by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam, do not try to open the enclosure of the CD or DVD drive.

●

The power supply is preset for the country or region in which you purchased your computer. If you move, check the voltage requirements for your new location before plugging the computer into an AC outlet.

To reduce the risk of serious injury read the Safety & Comfort Guide. To access this guide, go to

http://www.hp.com/ergo.

1. Place the computer so that all ventilation openings are unobstructed and cabling is not in a walkway or

where it can be stepped on or damaged by placing furniture on it.

2. When connecting all power cords from the monitor, computer, and accessories to an uninterruptible

power supply (UPS), it is recommended that you use a power surge protection detection device. If the computer has a television tuner, or a modem or telephone connection, protect the computer by using surge protection with these signal inputs as well. Connect the television cable or the telephone line cord to the surge protection device, and then connect the device to the computer.

or software attacks.

Connecting to the Internet (select products only)

To connect to a wireless network:

NOTE: To set up a wireless local area network (WLAN) and connect to the Internet, you need a broadband
