    Module 1 / Unit 2

    Lab 1 / Setting up the Computer


    If you happen to have a new computer, complete this lab to set it up correctly.
    If you are already using a computer, run through the steps to check that it is
    set up safely.

    1) Read the PC's instruction manual and make sure the contents listed on the
    box are all present.

    2) Put the system unit on the desk or floor—remember the following points:

    ○ Close enough to an electrical outlet.

    ○ Close enough to your desk so that cables for the mouse and keyboard
    are not stretched.

    ○ 6" space around the unit for air to circulate freely.

    ○ Not positioned close to a radiator and ideally not exposed to direct


    sunlight.

    3) Position the monitor on your desk and adjust it and your chair so that the
    top of the screen is level with your eyes.

    4) Connect the monitor to the port on the system unit, using the connector as
    shown in your system documentation.

    5) Connect the mouse and keyboard to the ports on the system unit, using the
    connector as shown in your system documentation.

    6) Try to keep the cables tidy so that they do not trail under your desk or cross
    walkways.

    7) Plug the monitor into a building power outlet or into the power socket on
    the system unit (check the system documentation to find out how the
    monitor is powered).

    8) Plug the power cable into the back of the system unit and then into the
    building power. Turn on the building power wall switch.

    9) Press the power switch on the monitor then the power switch on the PC.

    10) Wait for the computer to start ("boot"). As the PC powers up, listen and
    look for the following signs that the computer is operating normally:

    ○ Power LED comes on

    ○ Fans start spinning

    ○ Single short beep (most computers these days do not beep though)
