CAUTION: Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety and to help protect
your computer and working environment from potential damage.
General
•Do not attempt to service the computer yourself unless you are a trained service
technician. Always follow installation instructions closely.
•If you use an extension power cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere
rating of the products plugged in to the extension power cable does not exceed the
ampere rating of the extension cable.
•Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your computer. Doing so can cause fire
or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
•Do not store your computer in a low-airflow environment, such as a carrying case or a
closed briefcase, while the computer is turned on. Restricting airflow can damage the
computer or cause a fire.
•Keep your computer away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling
vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath your computer; do not place your computer
in a closed-in wall unit or on a bed, sofa, or rug.
•Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the floor, when you use
it to run the computer or to charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers
or other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter inside a carrying
case.
•The AC adapter may become hot during normal operation of your computer. Use care
when handling the adapter during or immediately after operation.
•Do not allow your portable computer to operate with the base resting directly on exposed
skin for extended periods of time. The surface temperature of the base will rise during
normal operation (particularly when AC power is present). Allowing sustained contact
with exposed skin can cause discomfort or, eventually, a burn.
•Do not use your computer in a wet environment, for example, near a bath tub, sink, or
swimming pool or in a wet basement.
System Information Guide5
Page 8
CAUTION: Safety Instructions (continued)
•If your computer includes an integrated or optional (PC Card) modem, disconnect the
modem cable if an electrical storm is approaching to avoid the remote risk of electric
shock from lightning via the telephone line.
•To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or disconnect any
cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical
storm. Do not use your computer during an electrical storm unless all cables have been
disconnected and the computer is operating on battery power.
•If your computer includes a modem, the cable used with the modem should be
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
manufactured with a minimum wire size of 26 American wire gauge (AWG) and an FCCcompliant RJ-11 modular plug.
•Before you open the memory module/Mini PCI card/modem cover on the bottom of your
computer, disconnect all cables from their electrical outlets and disconnect the telephone
cable.
•If your computer has both a modem RJ-11 connector and a network RJ-45 connector,
which look alike, make sure you insert the telephone cable into the RJ-11 connector, not
the RJ-45 connector.
•PC Cards may become very warm during normal operation. Use care when removing PC
Cards after their continuous operation.
•Before you clean your computer, disconnect the computer from the electrical outlet.
Clean your computer with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners, which may contain flammable substances.

or module bay.
6System Information Guide
Page 9
CAUTION: Safety Instructions (continued)
•To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter and device power cables into properly
grounded power sources. These power cables may be equipped with 3-prong plugs to
provide an earth grounding connection. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the
grounding prong from the power cable plug. If you use a power extension cable, use the
appropriate type, 2-prong or 3-prong, to mate with the AC adapter power cable.
•Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter’s power cable and that the cable is not
located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
•If you are using a multiple-outlet power strip, use caution when plugging the AC
adapter’s power cable into the power strip. Some power strips may allow you to insert the
plug incorrectly. Incorrect insertion of the power plug could result in permanent damage
to your computer, as well as risk of electric shock and/or fire. Ensure that the ground
prong of the power plug is inserted into the mating ground contact of the power strip.
Battery
•Use only Dell™ battery modules that are approved for use with this computer. Use of
other types may increase the risk of fire or explosion.
•Do not carry a battery pack in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal objects
(such as car keys or paper clips) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting
excessive current flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in damage
to the battery pack or cause fire or burns.
•The battery poses a burn hazard if you handle it improperly. Do not disassemble it.
Handle a damaged or leaking battery pack with extreme care. If the battery is damaged,
electrolyte may leak from the cells and may cause personal injury.
•Keep the battery away from children.
•Do not store or leave your computer or battery pack near a heat source such as a radiator,
fireplace, stove, electric heater, or other heat-generating appliance or otherwise expose it
to temperatures in excess of 60ºC (140ºF). When heated to excessive temperatures,
battery cells could explode or vent, posing a risk of fire.
•Do not dispose of your computer’s battery in a fire or with normal household waste.
Battery cells may explode. Discard a used battery according to the manufacturer’s
instructions or contact your local waste disposal agency for disposal instructions. Dispose
of a spent or damaged battery promptly.

WARRANTY LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS
THESE WARRANTIES REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. INTEL MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES BEYOND THOSE STATED HERE. INTEL
DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY

Intel’s Three Year Limited Warranty
36System Information Guide
Page 39
Intel Pentium® and Celeron® Processors are backed by a three-year limited warranty.
Please refer to the reverse side of this card for complete warranty details.
Intel’s Commitment to Quality
Intel is committed to producing the highest quality processors available. That’s why we have hundreds of people dedicated to continuously improve our design, manufacturing,
and testing technology.
We put every one of our Pentium® and Celeron® processors through a rigorous battery of tests during the design and manufacturing processes.
To verify that the new chip will correctly run the software written for Intel Architecture processors, a team of Intel engineers is dedicated to compatibility testing. In a state-of-art lab,
this group runs an extensive set of operating systems, applications, network tests and stress tests repeatedly to ensure that the processor is compatible with representative software.
Just as importantly, we work with hardware and software companies in the computer industry to ensure that our processors are compatible with their products.
Additionally, a sampling of Intel processors are subjected to a rigorous "burn-in" test whereby the chip is operated at higher-than-normal temperatures and voltages. During this
burn-in period, the processor experiences the equivalent of weeks of normal usage. These units are monitored for failures as part of our ongoing quality assurance process.
As a result, today’s microprocessors from Intel are among the most reliable components in computers.
What are ’Errata’?
Exhaustive product testing can highlight differences between the actual behavior of the microprocessor and its specifications. Sometimes the discrepancies are caused by a design
defect or error, which we call errata. Rigorous validation identifies most errata during the development of the processor, but we do detect additional errata during the life cycle of
a microprocessor.
When an erratum is identified, our engineers work to characterize it and find a solution. We work with system designers and software developers to ensure that the discrepancy does
not affect their products. If necessary, special software or hardware solutions (sometimes known as "work arounds") are implemented in the system design to prevent computer
users from encountering the problem. Errata may then be corrected in future revisions of the microprocessor.
No microprocessor is perfect, and Intel recognizes that some consumers want to know about any errata, whether or not the errata affect them. Intel makes documentation of all
characterized Pentium and Celeron processor errata publicly available through our Technical Documentation Service.
At Intel, our goal is to make every computer user satisfied with his or her Pentium or Celeron processor. Should you have any questions, comments or concerns about your Intel
microprocessor, please call us at 1-800-628-8686.

Réglementations
Une interférence électromagnétique (EMI, Electromagnetic Interference) est un signal
ou une émission, véhiculé(e) dans l'espace libre ou par des conducteurs électriques ou de
signaux, qui peut mettre en danger le fonctionnement d'une radionavigation ou d'un autre
service de sécurité, ou sérieusement dégrader, obstruer ou interrompre à maintes reprises un
service de communications radio autorisé. Les services de communications radio incluent,
de manière non limitative, les services de radiodiffusion commerciale AM/FM, la télévision,
les services de téléphonie cellulaire, la radiodétection, le contrôle de la circulation aérienne,
les récepteurs de radio messagerie et les systèmes GSM. Ces services autorisés, ainsi que les
éléments rayonnants parasites involontaires tels que les dispositifs numériques, y compris
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
les ordinateurs, contribuent à l'environnement électromagnétique.
La compatibilité électromagnétique (EMC) est la capacité des éléments d'un équipement
électronique à interagir correctement dans l'environnement électronique. Bien que cet
ordinateur ait été conçu dans le respect de cette compatibilité et soit conforme aux seuils
fixés en matière d'interférences électromagnétiques par l'organisme de réglementation, la
possibilité d'une interférence dans une installation particulière n'est pas entièrement exclue.
Si l'équipement crée effectivement des interférences avec des services de communications
radio (ce qui peut être déterminé en l'éteignant et en l'allumant), l'utilisateur est encouragé
à essayer de corriger ce phénomène en prenant l'une ou l'ensemble des mesures suivantes :
•Changez l'orientation de l'antenne de réception.
•Repositionnez l'ordinateur en fonction du récepteur.
•Éloignez l'ordinateur du récepteur.
•Branchez l'ordinateur sur une autre prise de sorte que celui-ci et le récepteur soient
sur des circuits de branchement différents.
Si nécessaire, consultez un représentant du support technique Dell ou un technicien
radio/télévision expérimenté pour des suggestions supplémentaires.
Pour plus d'informations sur les réglementations, consultez la section « Réglementations »

Intel’s Commitment to Quality
Intel is committed to producing the highest quality processors available. That’s why we have hundreds of people dedicated to continuously improve our design, manufacturing,
and testing technology.
We put every one of our Pentium® and Celeron® processors through a rigorous battery of tests during the design and manufacturing processes.
To verify that the new chip will correctly run the software written for Intel Architecture processors, a team of Intel engineers is dedicated to compatibility testing. In a state-of-art lab,
this group runs an extensive set of operating systems, applications, network tests and stress tests repeatedly to ensure that the processor is compatible with representative software.
Just as importantly, we work with hardware and software companies in the computer industry to ensure that our processors are compatible with their products.
Additionally, a sampling of Intel processors are subjected to a rigorous "burn-in" test whereby the chip is operated at higher-than-normal temperatures and voltages. During this
burn-in period, the processor experiences the equivalent of weeks of normal usage. These units are monitored for failures as part of our ongoing quality assurance process.
As a result, today’s microprocessors from Intel are among the most reliable components in computers.
What are ’Errata’?
Exhaustive product testing can highlight differences between the actual behavior of the microprocessor and its specifications. Sometimes the discrepancies are caused by a design
defect or error, which we call errata. Rigorous validation identifies most errata during the development of the processor, but we do detect additional errata during the life cycle of
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
a microprocessor.
When an erratum is identified, our engineers work to characterize it and find a solution. We work with system designers and software developers to ensure that the discrepancy does
not affect their products. If necessary, special software or hardware solutions (sometimes known as "work arounds") are implemented in the system design to prevent computer
users from encountering the problem. Errata may then be corrected in future revisions of the microprocessor.
No microprocessor is perfect, and Intel recognizes that some consumers want to know about any errata, whether or not the errata affect them. Intel makes documentation of all
characterized Pentium and Celeron processor errata publicly available through our Technical Documentation Service.
At Intel, our goal is to make every computer user satisfied with his or her Pentium or Celeron processor. Should you have any questions, comments or concerns about your Intel
microprocessor, please call us at 1-800-628-8686.

CUIDADO: instruções de segurança
Use as diretrizes de segurança a seguir para ajudá-lo a garantir sua própria segurança e para ajudá-lo
a proteger o computador e o ambiente de trabalho de possíveis danos.
Geral
•Não tente fazer a manutenção do computador por conta própria, a menos que você seja um
técnico treinado para isso. Siga atentamente as instruções de instalação.
•Se você usar um cabo de alimentação de extensão com o adaptador para CA, certifique-se de que
a potência nominal total em ampères dos produtos conectados a esse cabo não exceda a potência
nominal em ampères do cabo de extensão.
•Não bloqueie as passagens de ar ou a ventilação do computador com objetos. Esse procedimento
pode provocar incêndio ou choque elétrico em conseqüência de curtos circuitos nos
componentes internos.
•Não guarde o computador em um ambiente com pouca ventilação, como, por exemplo, uma
caixa de transporte ou uma pasta fechada, enquanto ele estiver em funcionamento. Isso pode
danificar o computador ou causar incêndio.
•Mantenha o computador afastado de radiadores e fontes de calor. Além disso, não bloqueie
as aberturas de ventilação. Evite colocar papéis soltos debaixo do computador; não coloque
o computador em uma unidade com paredes próximas ou sobre camas, sofás ou tapetes.
•Coloque o adaptador para CA em uma área ventilada, como uma mesa ou no chão, enquanto
você o usa para ligar o computador ou carregar a bateria. Não cubra o adaptador para CA com
papéis ou outros itens que reduzem o resfriamento; além disso, não use o adaptador para CA
em uma caixa de transporte.
•O adaptador para CA pode aquecer durante a operação normal do computador. Tenha cuidado
ao manuseá-lo durante ou imediatamente depois da operação.
•Não trabalhe com o computador portátil posicionado diretamente sobre a pele (sobre as pernas,
por exemplo) por períodos prolongados. A temperatura de superfície da base se elevará durante a
operação normal (principalmente se a alimentação for por corrente alternada). O contato direto
com a pele por um período prolongado pode provocar mal-estar ou até mesmo queimaduras.
•Não utilize o computador em ambientes úmidos, como próximo a banheiras, pias, piscinas ou
qualquer local molhado.
•Se o computador tiver um modem (tipo PC Card) integrado ou opcional, desconecte o cabo do
modem se uma tempestade com descargas elétricas estiver se aproximando, para evitar o risco
remoto de choque elétrico decorrente da emissão de raios através da linha telefônica.
Guia de informações do sistema75
Page 78
CUIDADO: instruções de segurança
(continuação)
•Para evitar o risco potencial de choque elétrico, não conecte ou desconecte cabos nem faça
manutenção ou reconfiguração deste produto durante tempestades com descargas elétricas.
Não use o computador durante tempestades com descargas elétricas, a menos que todos os
cabos tenham sido desconectados e o computador esteja sendo alimentado por bateria.
•Se o computador tiver um modem, o cabo usado com esse deve ser fabricado no tamanho de
26 AWG (American wire gauge [medida padrão americana para fios]) e um plugue modular
RJ-11 compatível com a FCC.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
•Antes de abrir a tampa do módulo de memória/mini placa PCI/modem na parte inferior
do computador, desconecte todos os cabos de suas tomadas elétricas e desconecte o cabo
de telefone.
•Se o computador tiver um conector de modem RJ-11 e um conector de rede RJ-45, que são
parecidos, insira o cabo de telefone no conector RJ-11, e não no RJ-45.
•As placas de PC podem ficar muito quentes durante a operação normal. Tenha cuidado ao
removê-las após operação contínua.
•Antes de limpar o computador, desconecte-o da tomada elétrica. Limpe o computador com
um pano macio e umedecido em água. Não use detergentes líquidos ou em aerossol, pois esses
produtos podem conter substâncias inflamáveis.
Energia
•Use somente o adaptador para CA fornecido pela Dell e aprovado para uso com este
computador. O uso de outro adaptador para CA pode causar incêndio ou explosão.
•Antes de conectar o computador a uma tomada elétrica, verifique a voltagem do adaptador
para CA para certificar-se de que a freqüência e a voltagem solicitadas correspondam à fonte
de energia disponível.
•Para remover o computador de todas as fontes de energia, desligue-o, desconecte o adaptador
para CA da tomada elétrica e remova as baterias que estejam instaladas no compartimento de
bateria ou do módulo.
•Para evitar choque elétrico, conecte o adaptador para CA e os cabos de alimentação dos
dispositivos às fontes de energia aterradas corretamente. Esses cabos de alimentação podem
ser equipados com plugues de 3 pinos para fornecer uma conexão aterrada. Não use plugues
adaptadores, nem remova o pino de aterramento do plugue do cabo de alimentação. Se você
usar um cabo de extensão de alimentação, use o tipo apropriado, 2 ou 3 pinos, para combinar
com o cabo de alimentação do adaptador para CA.
76Guia de informações do sistema
Page 79
CUIDADO: instruções de segurança
(continuação)
•Certifique-se de que nada esteja sobre o cabo de alimentação do adaptador para CA e de que
esse cabo não fique exposto em locais onde se possa tropeçar ou pisar.
•Se você estiver usando um filtro de linha com várias tomadas, tenha cuidado ao conectar o cabo
de alimentação do adaptador para CA ao filtro de linha. Alguns filtros de linha podem permitir
que você insira o plugue incorretamente. A inserção incorreta do plugue de alimentação pode
resultar em dano permanente ao computador, bem como risco de choque elétrico e/ou fogo.
Verifique se o pino aterrado do plugue de alimentação está inserido no contato aterrado
correspondente do filtro de linha.
Bateria
•Use apenas os módulos de bateria da Dell™ que foram aprovados para uso com o computador.
O uso de outros tipos pode aumentar o risco de incêndio ou explosão.
•Não carregue baterias no bolso, na bolsa ou em outros locais em que objetos metálicos
