Congratulations on purchasing your new Power Mac G4 computer. Your Power Mac G4 is a
full-featured computer that includes the latest in computer technology such as FireWire, USB,
support for AirPort wireless Internet and networking, and the latest Macintosh operating
system, Mac OS X. This chapter contains instructions for setting up your computer and display.
Positioning the Computer and Display
You can pick up the computer by any of its handles. If your monitor (or display) is heavy, be
sure to use correct lifting techniques when positioning it. Position the computer and display
so that
m they are on sturdy, flat surfaces
m the power cable connectors don’t press against a wall or other object
m nothing obstructs air flow behind or below the display or computer
m the computer’s optical drive tray has space to open in front
Important
The only way to shut off power completely to your computer and display is to
disconnect their power plugs from the power source. Make sure the power cords for your
computer and display are within easy reach so you can quickly unplug them if necessary.
