Step 1
Make sure your desk or table is near an electric outlet and a phone jack.
-
Step 2
Carefully remove equipment from the packing cartons.
-
Step 3
Make sure you have everything that should have come in the boxes, including power cords for each piece of equipment. Each box should include a packing list.
-
Step 4
Position the equipment on your desk. If the computer is a mini-tower, it can go on the floor as long as it has space behind it for ventilation.
-
Step 5
Plug the mouse into the keyboard. Match the icon on the mouse plug to an icon on the keyboard. This ADB plug will only go in one way; turn it 90 degrees if you have trouble.
-
Step 6
Plug the keyboard into the small, round ADB port on the back of the computer. (This should be marked with the same icon as your mouse plug.)
-
Step 7
Connect a printer according to the manufacturer's instructions. (Printers might be connected to a number of different ports.)
-
Step 8
Connect any other devices, such as speakers, a microphone or an external modem. Let the icons on the back of the computer guide you, but use the port specified by the device manufacturer.
-
Step 9
Connect a modem to a phone jack using the supplied phone cable. Plug the phone cable into the surge suppressor if it has a phone cable connector, then plug the second cable into wall jack.
-
Step 10
Connect power cords to each piece of equipment.
-
Step 11
If you have an external Zip drive, connect it to the SCSI or USB port, depending on what type of drive it is.
-
Step 12
Connect the monitor to the computer. The monitor port is unique; find the corresponding size and shape. Use a monitor adapter if necessary. (If you bought a non-Apple monitor this might be necessary.)
-
Step 13
Tighten the hand-screws on the monitor plug.
-
Step 14
Plug each piece of equipment into a surge suppressor.
-
Step 15
Turn on the surge suppressor.
-
Step 16
Turn on the monitor.
-
Step 17
Turn on all other powered devices connected to computer.
-
Step 18
Turn on the computer last.
