Chapter 3: Getting Started

Starting your computer

To start your computer:

1 Connect the monitor, keyboard, and mouse to your computer. See the setup poster

for setup instructions.

2 Turn on your computer.

3 If you are starting your computer for the first time, follow the on-screen instructions

to set up your computer.

4 Plug in and turn on any peripheral devices, such as printers or scanners, and see the

documentation that came with the device for setup instructions.

Waking up your computer

When you have not used your computer for several minutes or have not turned off your

computer, it may enter a power-saving mode called Standby. While in Standby, the power

indicator flashes.

If your computer is in Standby mode, move the mouse or press the power button to “wake”

it up.

Important

Your computer has a built-in variable speed fan. In addition, your

computer uses a powerful processor which produces heat. Both the

system fan and processor can run at different speeds at times to

ensure correct system cooling. You may notice an increase in the fan

noise when the fan is running at high speed and a decrease in the

fan noise when it switches to normal speed.
