Plugging in the computer
Before you plug your Macintosh into a wall socket, carefully read all the
installation instructions in Chapter 1. Then, before you connect anything to
your Macintosh, follow the instructions below to plug it in. The plug grounds
and protects the computer from electrical damage while you are setting up.
When you are ready to begin:
1Plug the socket end of the computer’s power cord into the recessed power plug (marked
with the symbol
≤
) on the back of the computer.
2Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole grounded outlet or power strip.
Choose a power outlet to which you have easy access.
WARNING
This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. Your
Macintosh is equipped with a three-wire grounding plug—a plug that
has a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only a grounded AC
outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a
properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding
plug!
