Setting up your computer
Working safely and comfortably
Please observe and follow safe ergonomic workplace practices when using this equipment.
Preparing power connections
Protecting from power source problems
During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming into your computer can increase to
far above normal levels and cause data loss or system damage. Protect your computer and peripheral
devices by connecting them to a surge protector , which absorbs voltage surges and prevents them
from reaching your computer.
An
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) supplies battery power to your computer during a power
failure. Although you cannot run your computer for an extended period of time with a UPS, a UPS
lets you run your computer long enough to save your work and shut down your computer normally.
Connecting to a broadband modem or network
You can connect your computer to a cable or DSL modem or to a wired Ethernet network.
To connect to a broadband modem or to an Ethernet network:
1
Insert one end of the network cable into the network jack on the right side of your
computer. For its location, see “Side port panel” on page 7 .
2
Insert the other end of the network cable into a cable modem, DSL modem, or network jack.
Connecting a dial-up modem
Your computer may have a 56K modem that you can use with a standard telephone line to connect
to the Internet or fax documents.
To connect the modem:
1
Insert one end of the modem cable into the modem jack on the modem at the right side
of your computer. For its location, see “Side port panel” on page 7 .
2
Insert the other end of the modem cable into a telephone wall jack. (The modem will not
work with digital or PBX telephone lines.)
3
If you want, connect a telephone to the PHONE jack on the modem on the right side of your
computer.
Warning
High voltages can enter your computer through both the power cord and the modem
connection. Protect your computer by using a surge protector. If you have a telephone
modem, use a surge protector that has a modem jack. If you have a cable modem, use a
surge protector that has an antenna/cable TV jack. During an electrical storm, unplug both
the surge protector and the modem.
Important
Your computer may be equipped with a built-in Ethernet (network) jack.
Warning
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunications line
cord.
