Getting Started : Connecting the Cables
The following are normally optional, but some vendors may include them in the basic
package. Some items may not be available in certain countries, or some vendors may
choose not to carry all the optional items:
 A Windows software package , including manual and CD-ROM
 Keyboard and/or mouse
 Video monitor
 Audio speakers
 Additional peripheral devices and/or cables
Note: Contact your system vendor for information on the availability of optional
items.
Until the system is up and running, it’s a good idea to leave all the software packages
intact. All of it is pre-installed and automatically starts when you turn on the power. They
are provided for backup purposes only.
Arrange all the unpacked items on an uncluttered desk or table when you plan to set up
and use the system computer. Each piece should be close enough together so that
cables can reach to the appropriate connectors. Be sure there is a wall outlet close to the
table or desk.
Installing the System
Most of the work of setting up your system computer is already done. Before shipping
your system, we installed all the software and specified the correct hardware
configuration in the setup program.
The part we have left for you is comparatively easy. Anyone who can orient cables to
mate with connectors can set up this Book PC computer. You won’t have to open the
computer to plug anything in. The steps on the next few pages are easy to follow, and
there are lots of pictures to help show you the correct way.
First we introduce you to the system components, and then we will help you set up the
system and install all the cables.
Warning: In this section you are instructed to connect several cables. To avoid
damage to your computer and peripherals, never plug in or unplug a cable when
the system unit power is ON. Always shut off the system first, only then make any
necessary cable connections or changes.
