Connecting the Power Supply
After connecting the keyboard, mouse, monitor and any other peripheral devices,
plug the PC and monitor into an AC outlet. Use only the supplied power cord. Ob-
serve the following safety precautions:
•
The AC outlet must be in the vicinity of the PC and within easy reach of the
power cables. DO NOT stretch the power cables to reach an AC outlet.
•
In order to disconnect your PC from the power source, remove the power
cord from the AC outlet.
•
To provide additional protection against electric shock, power surges, light-
ning strikes, or other electrical damage to your PC, we recommend the use
of a surge protector.
•
If you are using an extension cord, ensure that the cord meets your local
safety requirements. If in doubt, ask an electrician. Never use frayed or worn
extension cords.
•
The power supply unit has an on/off switch on the back of the PC. Setting the
switch to "I" turns the power on and setting the switch to "O" turns the power
off.
Caution
Even with the on/off switch set to "O", some components of the PC
remain under voltage. To completely disconnect the PC from all volt-
age, the power cord must be disconnected from the AC outlet.
Do not start your PC yet!
