Setting Up Your System

This chapter describes how to set up and turn on/off your system. Just follow the steps in this chapter.
Before you set up your computer, it is important to choose a safe and convenient location that provides the following:
● A large, sturdy desk or table strong enough to support the weight of your system and all of its
components.
● A flat and hard surface. Soft surfaces like beds and carpeted floors attract static electricity, which
can erase data on your disks, damage the computer’s circuitry, and prevent proper ventilation.
● Good air circulation. Leave several inches of space around the computer so air can move freely.
● Moderate environment conditions. Select a cool, dry area and protect your computer from
extremes in temperature, humidity, dust, and smoke. Avoid direct sunlight or any other source of heat.
● Appropriate power sources. To prevent static charges, connect all your equipment to three-hole,
grounded outlets. You need one outlet for the computer, one for the monitor, and an additional outlet for a printer and any other peripheral devices.
● No electromagnetic interference. Do not place your system too close to any electrical device, such
as a telephone, which generates an electromagnetic field.

1. Selecting a Location

Setting Up Your System
Setting Up Your System
2-2
Setting Up Your System
A power supply is integrated into the system to provide power to the mainboard, option cards, and peripheral devices. The power selection switch on the system back panel can be used to set the power supply to operate at 115V or 230V.
To verify that your system has the correct setting for your environment, check the voltage selection switch.
Using a tool such as an opened paper clip, slide the voltage selection switch to the correct voltage position.

2. Checking the Voltage Selection

WARNING
If you set the voltage selection switch incorrectly, your system will be damaged. Make sure this switch is set correctly for your location before turning on your computer.

Setting Up Your System
To connect the peripheral devices, refer to the Setting Up Your Computer.

3. Connecting Your Peripheral Devices

WARNING
To avoid generating an electric shock, be sure to plug the power cord into the system before plugging it into the wall socket.
CAUTION
For protection of your computer and other devices during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the computer and other devices from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the computer and other devices due to lighting and power line surges.

Using Your Computer

To use your computer, you must install the operating system on your computer. Windows®may come with already installed on your system. To install another operating system such as OS/2 Warp or UNIX, see the manual that came with that system for instructions on installation and use. The procedures in this manual assume that you are using Windows
®
with your computer.
