Chapter 3: Getting Started

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

Turn on your computer.

If you are starting your computer for the first time, follow the on-screen instructions 
to set up your computer.

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.

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.

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.

For more information about changing the power button mode, see 
“Changing Power-Saving Settings” in

which has 

been included on your hard drive. To access this guide, click Start,
