Buy a new computer for the first time is exciting for most and a little scary for some. But there is nothing to fear. Configure a computer for the first time is really easy, and this article will help you through the process.
To be responsible for this article with a computer running the Windows operating system. If you are not sure what operating system uses, read on to find out.
WHAT IS IN THE BOXES
When you open all his paintings from the warehouse of the team, you must have the following:
1. The own team - a box with slots in the front and lots of sockets and connections on the back.
2. A screen, also called a monitor or screen.
3. A keyboard
4. A mouse - also called a pointing device.
5. A pair of wires with plugs at the ends.
6. One or more CD or DVD discs
7. Manuals and quick start guides perhaps.
8. A set of small loudspeakers with some cables.
Depending on the store you purchased the team, it can be less or more other elements in the table.
WHERE THE CONNECT
Put the team on a desktop so you can easily work in the back or the front of the box. Unbundle the screen and fix its base to it. (There is always an image in the box on the screen that shows how to do this)
Find a cable in his painting of the screen with a 15pins connector and this plug socket 15-pin in the back of the computer and if it is no longer locked to the rear of the screen, connect it to the screen too.
If your keyboard has a purple plug, plug it into the socket of purple in the back of the computer. If you have a black connector, level, which is a USB connector, connect on any socket that fits in, either in the back of the computer or on the front - no matter that one uses, as it fits perfectly.
If the mouse has a green plug on the end of your cable, plug it into the Green socket along with the taking of purple in the back of the computer. If you have a flat, black connector, use any other free USB socket, how to the keyboard.
The speakers will have a small plug like a headset plug. Look at the rear of the computer of 3 colors of plinths little red, green and blue and plug the connector of the loudspeaker in the Green socket shortly.
If the team has a socket in the back of your phone line go, can connect up as well. This will allow you to (once you have learned to do so) to connect to the internet, send faxes and phone calls from your PC.
GET IGNITION
Right, you are almost ready. Find the cables with plugs for electric supply and connect to the back of the computer where the kettle plugs fit into their Sockets. If there is two blocks from there, one is to connect the power to the screen. If there is only one, then you have to connect the screen power cord directly in the wall socket. Once this is done can connect the power cables in the power outlet on the wall and the switch in. There may be a switch near the plug of power in the later part of the team that must change too, and then also a power button on the front of the team that should ignite. The screen also has a switch - sometimes is in the front, and sometimes is on the side of the screen. Make sure that a bit of light appears somewhere near this modifier to indicate that it is.
The team must now begin running, fans should start to blow air into the casing and the display should show signs of life after several seconds. Give the team about 2 or 3 minutes Yes boot. IE. to load it must initiate programmes.
Operating system
If the computer, after the start-up screen, have a button labeled Start at the bottom, left corner, then the team has all programs and Windows operating system pre-installed by the store - this is the normal practice. You can then start using the mouse to move the pointer small arrow around the screen and by clicking (i.e. press the left button of the mouse) on the Start button and other images to start the adventure that is "learning team". Then you can ignore the following paragraph.
If you only have a black screen with a message such as "Insert the installation CD" you have to put the disk operating system that came with the computer in the CD or DVD drive. The unit is marked "Disk" or "DVD" or perhaps "Combo 52 X" or some such thing and opens by pressing the small button on the right side of the unit. Will be on the CD or DVD installation disk what operating system used: either tell Windows XP (or Vista) or MAC or Linux or whatever. Once the disk is running you will be asked by the team on what to do next. If it is Linux need help! Otherwise is quite simple: make a note of your serial number of Windows, which can be on the disk that is being in the team, but normally found on a label stuck for the team, on the side or at the top. It is usually a 25-digit number in the form: xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx. Enter it in when asked by your "product key".
AND IS NOW!
You may need to turn on the speakers if you have a switch ON. And that's all.
