1. Disconnect all external devices except keyboard, mouse, display, Ethernet connection (if applicable), and connection to AC power.
2. Make sure that your Mac is on a hard, flat, stable surface with good ventilation.
3. Shut down your Mac.

   • For more information, including details about your service and support options, click ”Get started” or press Command-G.
   • To restart your Mac, click Restart or press R.
   • To shut down, click Shut Down or press S.

If you choose to get more information, your Mac starts up from macOS Recovery and displays a web page asking you to choose your country or region.
