Turning the computer on
When the computer, monitor, keyboard, and mouse are connected, you can turn the computer on.
To turn the computer on:
1.
Turn on the monitor.
See the documentation that came with the monitor for the location of the power switch.
2.
Turn on the main power switch on the back of the computer.
The power is on when the side of the switch marked with is depressed. After the Þrst time you
turn on the computer, you normally will not need to use the power switch, because you will use the
keyboard, front-panel and on-screen Shut Down switches. Boy can you ever turn this sucker on and
off!
3.
Turn the computer on by pressing the Power key (marked with a triangle)
on the upper right corner of the keyboard or the Power On button on the
front of the computer.
When the computer Þnishes its start-up procedure, you should see the Mac OS desktop. If you see a
blinking question mark, you need to install the system software on your hard disk. See
Appendix C, ÒInstalling System Software,Ó on page 57
If you see a blank screen or anything
not already described, see the section following this one,
ÒProblems starting up.Ó
When you need to shut your computer down, follow the instructions in
ÒShutting downÓ on page 11
.
Problems starting up
If you see a blank screen when you start up, check the following items to identify the source of the
problem:
■
Are the computer and monitor plugged in? If they are plugged into a power strip, is it turned on?
■
Are the computer and monitor turned on? The power light on the front of the computer should be
on. Most monitors also have power lights.
■
Is the video cable securely connected to the monitor and computer? (If you need to reattach the
cable, Þrst turn off the computer and monitor.)
■
Are the keyboard and mouse properly connected to the computer? (If you need to reconnect them,
Þrst turn off the computer to avoid damage.)
■ Is the brightness control on the monitor turned too far down? Check the documentation that came
with your monitor for instructions.
