It should have two valves, one on the top, one on the bottom. Hopefully they have given you a shock pump. Attach the pump to the valves and pump them up both to the pressure that is recommended for your weight. Hopefully they gave you an instruction manual with a chart of weight or pressures, or there will be a sticker on your fork.0

The weights on the fork are a terrible guide - might get you in the right ball park, more often way too firm unless you like running next to no sag.
Try 25% sag.
And see here.
