How do you pair the new Apple iMac to the keyboard/mouse?

->> New iMacs, Mac Minis, MacBooks and Magic Mouse are out. http://www.apple.com
My question is: If the iMac comes standard with a wireless Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, how do you pair them to the iMac if they aren't paired yet?
When you turn-on the iMac for the first time isn't it going to ask you to register the machine and such? How do you operate it if you haven't gone through the Bluetooth pairing process?
Is there some new Bluetooth auto-pairing process going on? |

| ->> pairing usually begins when you start up the machine. I'm not sure if you use bluetooth mice and keyboards on your mac, but on my iMac 20" they pair even when I start up, even in target disk mode. So in short, yes there is an auto pairing process going on upon startup. |

->> They can be paired via bluetooth.
With new iMac the new OS will look for your magic mouse and wireless keyboard to connect. |

->> Baron, OS X at boot up, will detect that there are no human interface devices connected via USB and automatically start up Bluetooth device manager.
At that point you turn on your mouse and keyboard and they should discover each other. |
