System Setup
Starting your computer
Before you start your computer for the first time:
■ Make sure that the voltage selector switch on the back of the computer
is set to the correct voltage for your area. This switch is set at the factory
to the correct voltage (see “Gateway Mid-Tower back” on page 4 for the
voltage selector switch location).
■ Make sure all cables are firmly connected to the proper ports on the back
panel of the computer.
■ Make sure the computer and monitor are plugged into an AC outlet or
power strip and that the power strip is turned on.
To start the computer:
1 If you have connected the computer components to a power strip, make
sure all the computer components are turned off, then turn on the power
strip.
2
Turn on the monitor.
3 Turn on any other components connected to the computer, such as
speakers, a printer, or a scanner.
4 Turn on the computer.
If nothing happens when you turn on the computer:
■
Make sure that the power cables are securely plugged in and that
your power strip (if you are using one) is plugged in and turned on.
■
Make sure the monitor is connected to the computer, plugged into
the power strip or AC outlet, and turned on. You may also need
to adjust the brightness and contrast controls on the monitor.
Caution Make sure your computer and peripherals are turned off
and unplugged from the power outlet when you connect
peripherals to the computer, or you might damage the
computer or the peripherals.
