Setting Up Your Computer
CAUTION: Before performing any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in Product
Information Guide.
NOTICE: If your computer has an expansion card installed (such as a modem card), connect the appropriate cable
to the card, not to the connector on the back panel.
NOTICE: To help allow the computer to maintain proper operating temperature, ensure that you do not place the
computer too close to a wall or other storage compartment that might prevent air circulation around the chassis.
NOTE: Before you install any devices or software that did not ship with your computer, read the documentation
that came with the device or software, or contact the vendor to verify that the device or software is compatible
with your computer and operating system.
You must complete all the steps to properly set up your computer. See the appropriate figures that follow
the instructions.
NOTICE: Do not attempt to operate a PS/2 mouse and a USB mouse simultaneously.
