3 If you are starting your computer for the first time, follow the on-screen instructions to set up your computer. Important Your computer has a built-in variable speed fan. In addition, your computer uses a powerful processor which produces heat. Both the system fan and processor can run at different speeds at times to ensure proper system cooling. You may notice an increase in the fan noise when the fan is running at high speed and a decrease in the fan noise when it switches to normal speed. 4 Turn on any peripheral devices, such as printers or scanners, and see the documentation that came with the device for setup instructions. Waking up your computer When you have not used your computer for several minutes or have not turned off your computer, it may enter a power-saving mode called Standby. While in Standby, the power indicator flashes. If your computer is in Standby mode, move the mouse or press the power button to "wake" it up. Tips & Tricks For more information about changing the power button mode, see "Changing Power-Saving Settings" in Using Your Computer which has been included on your hard drive.
