Hooking Up a Computer
Computers are getting relatively easy to hook
up. The computer owner used to have to keep a technical manual at his or
her side to make sure which wire connects to which port. Each of the
peripheral devices has a cable that needs to be connected to the back of the
computer. Most of these cables have a special connector type that is
designed to fit one and only one type of port. You may hear or read
about "serial" ports, "parallel" ports, 25-pin
connectors, 9-pin connectors and the like. Each of these descriptors
refers to a special wiring configuration. Each of the connectors normally
fits one and only one port on the back of the computer.

Both the CPU housing and the monitor will
have conventional household power cords. These are the 3-prong
variety and it is strongly recommended that you plug the computer and monitor
into a grounded outlet instead of using the 2-prong converter (or just cutting
the grounding prong off). It is also recommended that you purchase a high
quality, grounded, multi-outlet power strip that offers a good measure of surge
protection. During an electrical storm, the best thing you can do for
your computer is to unplug it from the power source. Most insurance
claims on electrically damaged computer equipment results from lightning damage
that originated from the telephone line connected to the modem. It is a
wise computer owner who not only "unplugs" his computer, but
disconnects the phone line, as well.
Most new computers come with simple, easy to
follow instructions for connecting the cables. If you ever plan to detach
the cables and move the computer to a new location, it would be wise to get out
a few bottles of colored nail polish and paint some identifying marks on the cables
and above the ports so that you can easily tell which wire belongs in which
socket. Many manufacturers are beginning to color-code their connectors
to make setting up the computer easier.
