Setting Up Your PC 1
Setting Up Your PC
Putting Your PC Together
Follow the steps on the setup poster to set up your PC.
Look in the PC box for printed details or updates regarding your model PC.
Placing your PC in the proper location
When setting up your new PC, place it where ventilation openings are unobstructed.
Make sure all connections are secure and all cabling is out of the way of walkways
and will not be stepped on or run over by furniture.
WARNING: The power supply is preset for the country/region in
which you purchased your PC. If you move, please check the voltage
requirements before plugging your PC into an AC power outlet.
WARNING: Please read “Safety Information” in the Warranty
and Support Guide before installing and connecting your PC to
the electrical power system.
2Getting Started Guide
Using surge protection
Help protect your monitor, PC, and accessories by connecting all power cords for
your PC and peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, or scanner) to a
surge-protection device such as a power strip with surge protection or
uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Many surge protection devices have
surge-protection inputs and outputs for modem/phone lines. Phone lines are a
common path for lightning spikes to get into your system. Some surge protection
devices also have surge protection for television cable connections as well: use
those if your PC has a television tuner installed.
Not all power strips provide surge protection; the power strip must be specifically
labeled as having this ability. Use a power strip whose manufacturer offers a
damage replacement policy so you can replace your equipment if surge protection
fails.
Connecting to the PC
Connect your main hardware devices such as the monitor, keyboard, and mouse to
the back of the PC. Other peripheral devices such as a printer, scanner, or camera
also plug into connectors on the back of your computer. Some PC models also have
connectors on the front of the PC. The table does not show all connectors.

Or
•Type
http://www.hp.com/ergo/
into your Web browser address box, and then press Enter on the keyboard.
Signing Up for Software Updates
Microsoft continually updates the Windows operating system. It is recommended
that you check for, download, and install these updates at least monthly. Take

operating system up to date. When you are connected to the Internet, Windows
Update automatically notifies you through a pop-up message or icon in the
notification area when critical updates are available. When you see the Windows
Update message, allow the updates to download to the system. If you update the
system weekly, or at least monthly, the time required for download is minimal.
To configure Automatic Updates:
Click Start, Control Panel, Other ,Control Panel Options and then
Automatic Updates.
In the Automatic Updates window, select the desired configuration:
• Automatic (recommended) — This is the default setting, and it allows you to
specify a day and time to automatically download and install recommended
updates.
•Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them.
•Notify me but don’t automatically download or install them.
The Turn off Automatic Updates option makes the PC more vulnerable and is
not recommended.
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 PC users. It also provides important
electrical and mechanical safety information.
Setting Up Your PC 9
Setting Up Accounts on Your New PC
User accounts allow you to set the privileges for each user of your PC. For example,
you can set the software programs that each user is allowed to access. Follow the
simple steps in this section when setting up your PC to create user accounts.
Creating user accounts
The information below describes the different account types in Windows XP and
explains how to change account types.
Creating multiple user accounts on the same PC has certain advantages as well as
some drawbacks.
•Advantages to multiple user accounts:
•Ability to create individual user settings
•Ability to limit access to software for certain users
•Drawbacks to multiple user accounts:
•More memory (RAM) usage
•Multiple Temporary Internet Files folders to remove during Disk Cleanup
•More data to back up
•Longer time to complete virus scan
Windows XP provides three types of user accounts:
•Administrative
Allowed to change account types for other users, change passwords, change
system-wide settings, and install Windows XP-compatible software and drivers.
•Limited
Not allowed to change other user settings, or passwords. Limited account may
not be able to install or run some software.
Allowed to change the limited account picture, and create, edit, or delete the
account password.
•Guest
Not allowed to change other user settings or passwords.
Users who log on to the PC using the guest account do not have access to
password-protected files, folders, and settings.
10 Getting Started Guide
Creating passwords
Passwords help protect your PC and information from unauthorized access and help
ensure that information on the PC stays private and secure. Use the following list as
a basic guide when choosing your password:
•Choose a password that is easy for you to remember but difficult for others to
guess.
•Choose a long password (minimum of 6 characters).
•Use a combination of upper and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols.
•Don’t use personal information that others can easily figure out, such as your
birthday, child’s name, or phone number.
•Don’t write down your password.
Guidelines for Installing Software and
Hardware Devices
After you set up the PC, you may wish to install additional software programs or
hardware devices. Keep in mind these important guidelines:
•Before installation, make a restore point using the Microsoft System Restore
program.
Click Start, , All Programs PC Help & Tools System Restore, and then .
The restore point is a snapshot of your PC configuration. By using System
Restore, you ensure that you have a point to return to before an issue occurred.
For information about System Restore, refer to the Microsoft Web site at:
http://www.microsoft.com/worldwide
•Choose software that is compatible with your PC — check the operating system,
memory, and other requirements listed for the new software for compatibility
with your PC.
•Install the new software according to the directions provided by the software
manufacturer. Check the manufacturer’s documentation or customer service
information for help if you need it.
•For antivirus software, uninstall the existing software program before
reinstalling it or installing a new antivirus program.
NOTE: Only use licensed original software. Installing copied software may be
illegal, may result in an unstable installation, or may infect your PC with a virus.

Speaker types
Speakers may be included with the monitor (select models only) or are sold
separately. Refer to the product documentation for your speakers.
Your PC supports only an active (powered) speaker system. An active speaker
system must have its own power cord. A home audio system does not require active
speakers because the receiver provides amplification.
A stereo speaker set is a left-right, two-channel speaker system. A multichannel
audio speaker system has a left-right front and left-right rear channel, and it may

Using the Memory Card Reader
Digital cameras and other digital imaging devices use memory cards, or media,
to store digital picture files. The optional memory card reader (select models only)
can read and write to a variety of types of memory cards and the IBM Microdrive
disk drive.
The card reader is accessible directly on the front of the PC or located inside a
cover. It has two or four horizontal card slots, which accept the memory cards and
the Microdrive disk drive.
You can place media in one or more of the card slots and use each media
independently. Place only one piece of media in a slot at one time.
Each card slot has its own drive letter and icon. When you insert media, the display
label may change to the title of the media, if the title is present.
If you open the Safely Remove Hardware window by mistake, click Close.
CAUTION: Do not click in the Safely Remove Hardware window Stop
with the USB Mass Storage Device selected. Doing so removes the
operating system recognition of the memory card reader from your
PC; you must restart the PC to see your memory card reader again.
50 Getting Started Guide
Using the Memory Card Reader
1Insert the media into the card slot until it stops.
The activity light (A) on the memory card reader lights, and the PC
automatically detects the media.
2The PC opens a window so you can use the media contents. You can copy files
from or to the media.
3When you are finished, right-click the drive icon, select Eject, check that the
activity light is on but not blinking, and then remove the media. A steady
activity light indicates that the PC is not reading or writing the media.
NOTE: Media must be inserted correctly. Note the direction of the notched
corner on the media. See the “Media Insertion Guide” on page 51.
CompactFlash and Microdrive are keyed and cannot be inserted incorrectly.
Insert the receptacle edge (holes) of this media into the slot.
