Chapter 1: Setting Up Your System
Setup
Getting Started
Before your new system left the factory, Micron configured the hardware. The
display adapter was set to work with your monitor and the hard disk was
partitioned and formatted with DOS using the standard default settings for
your machine. Your computer system is ready to go. All you have to do is
plug it in.
What You Need
❏ A grounded power outlet
❏ Phillips-head screwdriver
❏ Power filter/suppressor protector (recommended)
Putting It All Together
To complete your setup, refer to the following steps:
1. Take a moment and review the case figures on the following
pages to acquaint yourself with the front and back of your system.
2. Check the voltage selector on the rear of the unit. Be sure it is
switched for the proper voltage (115V in the United States and
Canada).
3. Place the monitor where you wish, as long as its cable can still
reach the video connector at the rear of the computer.
4. Unpack the power cable for the computer and plug the
appropriate end into the power inlet at the back of the system.
Insert the other end into a grounded power outlet. We highly
recommend that you obtain a protection device such as an
uninterruptable power supply (UPS), power filter or surge
suppressor. In this way you will be providing the utmost
protection for your system and data.
5. Ensure that the system is turned OFF before proceeding.
Attaching peripherals while the power is on may damage the
unit or the peripheral.
6. Locate the monitor’s power cable and plug the appropriate end
into the monitor (if not already attached). Insert the other end
into the grounded outlet or protection device.
