Safety guidelines
While troubleshooting your computer, follow these safety 
guidelines:
First steps
If you have problems with your computer, try these things 
first:
Make sure that the power cord is connected to your 
computer and an AC power outlet and that the power 
outlet is supplying power.
If you use a power strip or surge protector, make sure 
that it is turned on.
If a peripheral device does not work, make sure that all 
connections are secure.
Make sure that your hard drive is not full.
If an error message appears on the screen, write down 
the exact message. The message may help Customer 
Care in diagnosing and fixing the problem.
If you added or removed peripheral devices, review the 
installation procedures you performed and make sure 
that you followed each instruction.
If an error occurs in a program, see the program’s 
printed documentation or the online help.

while the modem cable, network cable, and power cord are connected.
