Setting Up The System

It only takes a few minutes to set up your new Aspire system. Start by

preparing your workspace. Make sure that the surface is stable, level and

clean.

Open the box carefully, ensuring that you do not damage the box or any of

the other packing materials. The box will be required if you ever have to

store or ship your computer. Unpack the box and set out the contents on

your work surface.

OOBE poster for a step-by-step guide to setting up your computer system.

display to find the optimum position.

• Place your mouse and keyboard side by side in front of the monitor.

Check that you are able to adopt a comfortable typing position.
