Unpacking Your SuperMac J700 Computer

Choose a sturdy location near a grounded AC power outlet for your

SuperMac J700 computerbefore you unpack it. Be sure to:

■Plan where to place your other components, like your display, a

printer, speakers, or a modem.

■Place your display on top of or next to the computer; do not place a

display larger than 17” on top of the SuperMac J700.

Choose a comfortable location that:

■Provides adequate ventilation so your system does not overheat.

■Provides room to adjust the position of your display.

■Is out of direct sunlight.

box and one of its interior cartons. Remove any other cartons and your

SuperMac J700 computer from the outer box. Open each carton and

remove the keyboard, mouse, cable, software and manual(s). Compare

the items you have with those listed on the included packing list. If

nents.You must use shielded interface cables to comply with FCC

requirements for radio-frequency interference. (All cables provided

with your SuperMac J700 are properly shielded .)

Connecting the Power Cable

Always make sure that your SuperMac J700 computer is plugged into a

grounded AC power outlet before you connect a component to it. This

properly grounds the computer.

WARNING: Check to see that the voltage switch on the back of your

computer, located just above the power cable socket, is properly set before

you plug it in. If you need to change the setting, insert a screwdriver in the

slot and slide the switch. Set the switch to “115” for voltages in the 100-130V

range. Set the switch to “230” for voltages in the 220-240V range. If you

don’t know the voltage used in the country you’re in, refer to the table,

“Voltages for Different Locations,” in Appendix A.

To connect the power cord to your SuperMacJ700:

1. Insert the end of the power cable with the socket into

the recessed socket on the back of the computer.

2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a three hole,

grounded outlet or power strip.

WARNING: Your SuperMac J700 computer is equipped with a three wire

grounding plug. This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded.

This plug will fit only a grounded AC outlet. If you are unable to insert

the plug into the outlet that you want to use, contact a licensed

electrician to replace the outlet with one that is properly grounded. Do

not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug.

3. Make sure the computer is turned off. If the illumi-

nated power button light on the front panel comes on,

press the illuminated power button to turn off the

computer before you perform the other procedures in

this chapter.

Installing a Graphics Card

If your SuperMac J700 includes a factory-installed graphics cards,

skip to the next section, “Connecting Your Display.”

If your SuperMac J700 does not include a factory-installed graphics

card, you need to install a card in one of the four internal Peripheral

Component Interconnect (PCI) expansion slots. For information on

installing graphics cards, see Appendix B, “Working Inside Your

Computer.”
