Step 1: Unpack the Computer

WARNING! To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety & Comfort Guide. It describes

proper workstation setup, posture, and health and work habits for computer users, and provides

important electrical and mechanical safety information. This guide is located on the Web at

http://www.hp.com/ergo and on the Documentation and Diagnostics CD.

Step 2: Confirm the Voltage Setting

Ensure that the voltage select switch for the power supply is set to the correct voltage for your region

(115 volts or 230 volts).

CAUTION: You should not need to change the voltage setting; however, you should verify that

the voltage selection is compatible with your local power specifications. Failure to do so could

result in damage to the computer.
