Thank you for purchasing a Velocity Micro computer! We’ve included this Quick Setup Guide to help you get started with your new PC. Refer to your user guide for additional tips on setting up your system to ensure the longest lifespan possible.
This guide does not cover advanced setup of items such as digital video or digital audio hardware. Please refer to the included manuals for assistance with these devices. Pictures shown may not accurately reflect your computer.
IMPORTANT: For initial setup, do not connect anything other than the items below. When adding additional devices, please refer to their included manuals and do them one at a time, with reboots after each install.
STEP 1: INPUT CONNECTIONS
STEP 2: VIDEO CONNECTIONS
Connect your keyboard and mouse to their intended ports (USB or PS/2).
Connect your monitor to its appropriate port. CRT monitors use the analog VGA port; LCD displays may use the digital DVI port. To connect an analog VGA monitor to a digital DVI port, use the included adapter. For SLI systems, use the upper-left connector.

STEP 3: CONNECT MONITOR POWER CABLE
STEP 4: INTERNET CONNECTIONS
Connect your monitor’s power cable to a surge protector or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
If you have broadband Internet access (cable or DSL) or are connected to a T1 or Ethernet network, then connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your system (if you have two, either will do). If you have dial-up Internet access, then connect phone and modem cables to their appropriate ports.

If you purchased speakers, then connect their cables to their appropriate ports. Pay attention to the color-coding scheme to match them up properly. For more information, refer to your motherboard’s manual, or if you purchased a seperate sound card, refer to the manufacturer’s website.
Make sure the power supply switch (located on the rear of the chassis) is set to “|” or the number 1 position.
