Important information:

If there is a label covering the power connector, remove it. Connect the power
cords to the computer, monitor, and other devices first, then plug the cords into
properly grounded electrical outlets.

When the power cord is first plugged in, the computer powers on for a few
seconds, then powers off. This is normal operation.

In some circumstances, the computer might not power off immediately when
the power switch is pressed. In this case, hold the power switch down until the
power turns off.
