Turning on is the basic operation required to get started with the computer. The start-up procedure starts up the necessary equipment, which must first be connected to the appropriate ports and the mains.
Computer connection
After purchasing a computer, you must first connect it to the power supply, and then correctly insert the plugs of all devices into the corresponding ports so that they also receive power and function. First you need to install all peripheral equipment. Insert the keyboard and mouse plugs into the USB ports on the back of the device. If you cannot find the hole you want, use the instructions for using the computer or motherboard that came with the purchase of the device.
After installing the keyboard and mouse, you will need to connect the monitor to the corresponding port on the video card. Find a suitable connector on the back of your computer and install the plug, which should also be pre-connected to the monitor. If necessary, screw on the existing fasteners at the ends of the wire. Connect other equipment that you want to use with your computer by inserting cables into the appropriate connectors on the chassis.
Then plug the power cord into an existing outlet. It is advisable to use a computer complete with a surge protector or uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This will help protect the device from voltage surges and will make it possible to extend the life of the equipment as long as possible.
Also slide the power switch on the power supply to I. Typically, this control is also located on the back of the computer near the power plug. Make sure all wires are installed correctly.
Launch
Once all the equipment has been connected, press the computer power button located on the front or side of the case (depending on the model). If the connection is done correctly, you will see the flickering of the corresponding sensors on the computer case. The operating system loading indicator will appear on the screen.
If the computer does not turn on, check again that all connections are correct. Make sure the extension cord is plugged into a power outlet. If you are using a UPS, check if it is turned on. After checking the connections, try starting your computer again. If, after performing the above manipulations, the activation still fails, contact the support service of the computer hardware store in which you purchased the device. If the computer does not turn on, the most likely cause is a malfunctioning power supply or motherboard.
