Step 1: Unpack Everything

• Take the monitor and computer case out of the box.
• Remove any plastic coverings or tape.
• Place the monitor and computer case on a desk or table with good airflow to prevent overheating.

Step 2: Find the Monitor Cable

• Look for the monitor cable. It may look different from the image in your manual.
• If you’re unsure, check the instruction manual.

Note: If you have an all-in-one computer, skip to Step 4.

Step 3: Connect the Monitor

• Plug one end of the monitor cable into the computer case.
• Plug the other end into the monitor.
• Make sure the cable aligns with the ports. Don’t force it.

Step 4: Connect the Keyboard

• Unpack the keyboard.
• Check if it uses a USB connector (rectangular) or a PS/2 connector (round).
• Plug it into the corresponding port on the back of the computer.

Step 5: Connect the Mouse

• Unpack the mouse.
• Check if it uses a USB or PS/2 connector.
• Plug it into the matching port on the back of the computer.

If your keyboard has a USB port, you can connect the mouse to the keyboard.
For wireless devices, you may need a Bluetooth dongle or adapter.

Step 6: Connect Speakers or Headphones

• Find the audio ports on the computer.
  • Green: Speakers or headphones.
  • Pink: Microphones.
  • Blue: Line in for other devices.
• Plug the devices into the correct ports. Some devices use USB instead of audio plugs.

Step 7: Connect the Power Supply

• Plug one power cable into the back of the computer case and connect it to a surge protector.
• Use the other cable to connect the monitor to the surge protector.

You can use an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) instead of a surge protector for extra safety during power outages.

Step 8: Power Up

• Plug the surge protector into a wall outlet.

• Turn on the surge protector if it has a switch.

Avoid plugging the computer directly into the wall to protect it from power surges.

Step 9: Connect Peripherals

• Connect additional devices like printers, scanners, or webcams.
• Many devices are plug-and-play, meaning they will work as soon as they are connected.
• Some devices may require software installation. Follow the instructions provided with the device.
