Step 3. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. 

  • All plugs must be firmly inserted into the power socket.  
  • The first time you turn on your Chromebox, you must connect to ac power and then press the power button.  
  • If your Chromebox did not come with an ac power adapter, you may use a display device as its ac power source. In that case, ensure that your display device can serve as its power source and prepare an appropriate USB cable.

CAUTION:

  • To ensure proper functionality and compatibility, you need to use the ac power adapter that is provided with the product, or use a display device with a minimum power output of 45 watts as the ac power source for your Chromebox.
  • Your Chromebox can only use one ac power adapter or USB Type-C display device as its power source at the same time. If it has two suitable USB Type-C connections, the first connected power adapter or display device serves as the power source. If this power adapter or device is disconnected, your Chromebox will shut down immediately.

You can connect your Chromebox to display devices such as monitors, projectors, and TVs.  
Ensure that an appropriate HDMI cable or USB cable is available to connect your Chromebox to the desired display device. 

Step 1. Connect one end of the cable to the HDMI connector or a multi-purpose USB Type-C connector on your Chromebox. 
Step 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the display device. 

Your Chromebox can be connected to up to two display devices at a time. Repeat the steps in this section to connect a second display device.
