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 Guide 5
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.

Power

Use only the Dell-provided AC adapter approved for use with this computer. Use of another AC adapter may cause a fire or explosion.
Before you connect the computer to an electrical outlet, check the AC adapter voltage rating to ensure that the required voltage and frequency match the available power source.
To remove the computer from all power sources, turn the computer off, disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet, and remove any battery installed in the battery bay or module bay.
6 System 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.

When Using Your Computer

Observe the following safe-handling guidelines to prevent damage to your computer:
When setting up the computer for work, place it on a level surface.
When traveling, do not check the computer as baggage. You can put your computer through an X-ray security machine, but never put your computer through a metal detector. If you have the computer checked by hand, be sure to have a charged battery available in case you are asked to turn on the computer.
When traveling with the hard drive removed from the computer, wrap the drive in a nonconducting material, such as cloth or paper. If you have the drive checked by hand, be ready to install the drive in the computer. You can put the hard drive through an X-ray security machine, but never put the drive through a metal detector.
When traveling, do not place the computer in overhead storage compartments where it could slide around. Do not drop your computer or subject it to other mechanical shocks.
Protect your computer, battery, and hard drive from environmental hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and overexposure to sunlight.
When you move your computer between environments with very different temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the computer. To avoid damaging the computer, allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the computer.
NOTICE: When taking the computer from low-temperature conditions into a warmer environment
or from high-temperature conditions into a cooler environment, allow the computer to acclimate to room temperature before turning on power.
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
Handle components with care. Hold a component such as a memory module by its edges, not its pins.
When preparing to remove a memory module from the system board or disconnect a device from the computer, turn off the computer, disconnect the AC adapter cable, remove any battery installed in the battery bay or module bay, and then wait 5 seconds before proceeding to help avoid possible damage to the system board.

What will Dell do?
During the 90 days of the 90-day limited warranty and the first year of all other limited warranties: During the 90 days of the 90-day limited warranty and the first year of all other limited warranties, we will repair any Dell­branded hardware products returned to us that prove to be defective in materials or workmanship. If we are not able to repair the product, we will replace it with a comparable product that is new or refurbished.
When you contact us, we will issue a Return Material Authorization Number for you to include with your return. You must return the products to us in their original or equivalent packaging, prepay shipping charges, and insure the shipment or accept the risk if the product is lost or damaged in shipment. We will return the repaired or replacement products to you. We will pay to ship the repaired or replaced products to you if you use an address in the United States (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the product to you freight collect.
If we determine that the product is not covered under this warranty, we will notify you and inform you of service alternatives that are available to you on a fee basis.
NOTE: Before you ship the product(s) to us, make sure to back up the data on the hard drive(s) and any other
storage device(s) in the product(s). Remove any confidential, proprietary, or personal information and removable media such as floppy disks, CDs, or PC Cards. We are not responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary, or personal information; lost or corrupted data; or damaged or lost removable media.
During the remaining years: For the remaining period of the limited warranty, we will replace any defective part with new or refurbished parts, if we agree that it needs to be replaced. When you contact us, we will require a valid credit card number at the time you request a replacement part, but we will not charge you for the replacement part as long as you return the original part to us within thirty days after we ship the replacement part to you. If we do not receive the original part within thirty days, we will charge to your credit card the then-current standard price for that part.
We will pay to ship the part to you if you use an address in the United States (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the part freight collect. We will also include a prepaid shipping container with each replacement part for your use in returning the replaced part to us.
NOTE: Before you replace parts, make sure to back up the data on the hard drive(s) and any other storage
device(s) in the product(s). We are not responsible for lost or corrupted data.
What if I purchased a service contract?
If your service contract is with Dell, service will be provided to you under the terms of the service agreement. Please refer to that contract for details on how to obtain service.
If you purchased through us a service contract with one of our third-party service providers, please refer to that contract for details on how to obtain service.
How will you fix my product?
We use new and refurbished parts made by various manufacturers in performing warranty repairs and in building replacement parts and systems. Refurbished parts and systems are parts or systems that have been returned to Dell, some of which were never used by a customer. All parts and systems are inspected and tested for quality.

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 AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Intel’s Three Year Limited Warranty
36 System 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.

PRÉCAUTION : Consignes de sécurité

Pour votre sécurité et pour protéger votre ordinateur ainsi que votre environnement de travail contre d'éventuels dommages, respectez les consignes de sécurité ci-dessous.

Généralités

Ne tentez pas d'assurer vous-même l'entretien de votre ordinateur à moins que vous ne soyez un technicien de maintenance qualifié. Suivez toujours scrupuleusement les instructions d'installation.
Si vous raccordez une rallonge à votre adaptateur CA/CC, assurez-vous que l'intensité totale du courant drainé par tous les appareils raccordés à cette rallonge ne dépasse pas la limite de cette dernière.
N'introduisez pas d'objets dans les orifices de ventilation ou autres ouvertures de votre ordinateur. Cela risquerait de provoquer un incendie ou un choc électrique dû à un court-circuit des composants internes.
Ne placez pas l'ordinateur dans un environnement peu aéré, tel qu'une sacoche de transport ou une mallette fermée, lorsque celui-ci fonctionne. Ceci risque d'endommager l'ordinateur ou de provoquer un incendie.
Conservez votre ordinateur à distance des radiateurs et sources de chaleur. Veillez à ne pas bloquer les grilles d'aération. Évitez de placer des papiers volants sous votre ordinateur ; ne placez pas votre ordinateur dans une unité murale fermée ou sur un lit, un canapé ou un tapis.
Placez l'adaptateur CA/CC dans une zone aérée, comme sur un bureau ou sur le sol, lorsqu'il est utilisé pour alimenter l'ordinateur ou pour charger la batterie. Ne recouvrez pas l'adaptateur CA/CC de papiers ou d'autres objets susceptibles d'entraver le refroidissement. De même, n'utilisez pas l'adaptateur CA/CC dans une mallette de transport.
L'adaptateur CA/CC risque de chauffer lorsque vous utilisez votre ordinateur. Faites donc très attention lorsque vous manipulez l'adaptateur pendant ou après son fonctionnement.
Évitez de poser votre ordinateur portable en fonctionnement à même la peau pendant une période prolongée. La température augmente sur la surface de la base pendant le fonctionnement normal de l'ordinateur (notamment s'il est alimenté par le secteur). Le contact prolongé avec la peau peut provoquer inconfort ou brûlure.
N'utilisez pas votre ordinateur dans un environnement exposé à l'eau, par exemple près d'une baignoire, d'un évier, d'une piscine ou dans un sous-sol humide.
Si votre ordinateur comprend un modem intégré ou optionnel (carte PC), débranchez le modem de la ligne téléphonique à l'approche d'un orage électrique afin d'éviter le risque très faible de choc électrique causé par un éclair et transmis par la ligne téléphonique.
Guide d'informations du système 43
Page 46
PRÉCAUTION : Consignes de sécurité (suite)
Pour réduire le danger lié à un choc électrique, n'effectuez aucun branchement ou débranchement pendant un orage électrique, ni aucune opération de maintenance ou de reconfiguration de ce produit. N'utilisez jamais l'ordinateur pendant un orage électrique, sauf si tous les câbles ont été déconnectés et si l'ordinateur est alimenté par la batterie.
Si votre ordinateur comprend un modem, le câble utilisé avec le modem doit avoir une taille minimale de 26 AWG (American Wire Gauge) et une fiche modulaire RJ-11 conforme à la norme FCC.
Avant d'ouvrir le couvercle du module de mémoire, de la carte Mini PCI ou du modem au bas
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
de l'ordinateur, déconnectez tous les câbles de leur source d'alimentation et débranchez le câble téléphonique.
Si votre ordinateur dispose d'un connecteur modem RJ-11 et d'un connecteur réseau RJ-45 (ces deux connecteurs se ressemblent), veillez à brancher le câble téléphonique dans le connecteur RJ-11 et non pas dans le connecteur RJ-45.
Les cartes PC peuvent chauffer beaucoup en fonctionnement normal. Faites donc très attention lorsque vous les retirez après une utilisation prolongée.
Débranchez l'ordinateur de la prise électrique avant de le nettoyer. Nettoyez votre ordinateur avec un tissu doux et humidifié avec de l'eau. N'utilisez pas de liquide ni d'aérosol nettoyants, ceux-ci peuvent contenir des substances inflammables.

Alimentation

Utilisez uniquement l'adaptateur CA/CC fourni par Dell et homologué pour cet ordinateur. L'utilisation d'un autre adaptateur CA/CC peut provoquer un incendie ou une explosion.
Avant de raccorder l'ordinateur à une prise électrique, assurez-vous que la fréquence et la tension du secteur sont compatibles avec la tension d'entrée de l'adaptateur CA/CC.
Pour mettre l'ordinateur totalement hors tension, éteignez-le, débranchez l'adaptateur CA/CC de la prise électrique et retirez toutes les batteries installées dans la baie de batterie ou la baie modulaire.
Pour éviter tout risque de décharge électrique, branchez les câbles de l'adaptateur CA/CC et des périphériques sur des sources d'alimentation électriques correctement reliées à la terre. Il se peut que ces câbles d'alimentation soient équipés de prises à trois broches afin de fournir une mise à la terre. N'utilisez pas de fiche intermédiaire ou retirez la broche de masse du câble d'alimentation. Si vous utilisez une rallonge électrique, veillez à ce qu'elle comporte des prises à deux ou trois broches, afin de pouvoir la raccorder au câble d'alimentation de l'adaptateur CA/CC.
44 Guide d'informations du système
Page 47
PRÉCAUTION : Consignes de sécurité (suite)
Assurez-vous que rien ne repose sur le câble d'alimentation de l'adaptateur CA/CC et que ce câble n'est pas placé dans un endroit où quelqu'un pourrait marcher ou trébucher dessus.
Si vous utilisez une barrette d'alimentation multiprise, soyez prudent lorsque vous raccordez le câble d'alimentation de l'adaptateur CA/CC à la barrette d'alimentation. Certaines barrettes d'alimentation peuvent ne pas empêcher l'insertion d'une prise de façon incorrecte. L'insertion incorrecte de la prise de courant peut provoquer un dommage irréparable sur votre ordinateur ainsi qu'un risque de choc électrique et/ou d'incendie. Assurez-vous que le contact de mise à la terre de la prise de courant est inséré dans le contact de mise à la terre correspondant de la barrette d'alimentation.

Batterie

Utilisez uniquement les modules de batteries Dell™ homologués pour cet ordinateur. L'utilisation d'autres types de modules peut présenter un risque d'incendie ou d'explosion.
Ne transportez pas de batterie dans votre poche, sac à main ou autre conteneur où des objets métalliques (comme des clés de voiture ou des trombones) pourraient court-circuiter les bornes de la batterie. L'excès de flux de courant qui en résulterait pourrait entraîner des températures extrêmement élevées et, par conséquent, des dommages sur la batterie, un incendie ou des brûlures.
La batterie représente un danger de brûlure si vous la manipulez de façon incorrecte. Ne démontez pas la batterie. Manipulez les batteries endommagées ou percées avec une extrême précaution. Lorsqu'une batterie est endommagée, des électrolytes peuvent fuir des cellules et provoquer des dommages corporels.
Conservez la batterie hors de portée des enfants.
Ne rangez pas et ne laissez pas votre ordinateur ou votre batterie près d'une source de chaleur, telle qu'un radiateur, une cheminée, un poêle, un chauffage électrique, ou tout autre appareil générateur de chaleur et ne l'exposez pas à des températures supérieures à 60 °C (140 °F). Lorsque les batteries atteignent une température excessive, les cellules de la batterie peuvent exploser ou imploser, représentant alors un risque d'incendie.
Ne jetez pas la batterie de votre ordinateur au feu ni avec les ordures ménagères. Les cellules de la batterie risquent d'exploser. Débarrassez-vous de la batterie usagée selon les instructions du fabricant ou contactez le service municipal de traitement des déchets afin de connaître les instructions de mise au rebut. Débarrassez-vous rapidement d'une batterie usagée ou endommagée.

Protégez l'ordinateur, la batterie et l'unité de disque dur contre les risques liés à l'environnement, tels que les températures extrêmes, la surexposition à la lumière, la saleté, la poussière, la nourriture et les liquides.
Lorsque vous transportez votre ordinateur entre des environnements présentant d'importants écarts de température ou de taux d'humidité, une condensation peut se former sur ou dans l'ordinateur. Pour ne pas endommager l'ordinateur, patientez suffisamment pour que cette humidité s'évapore avant de l'utiliser.
AVIS : Lorsque vous faites passer votre ordinateur d'un environnement froid à un environnement plus
chaud ou inversement, laissez-lui le temps de s'acclimater à la température ambiante avant de l'allumer.
Lorsque vous débranchez un câble, tirez sur le connecteur ou sur la boucle prévue à cet effet, mais jamais sur le câble lui-même. Lorsque vous tirez sur le connecteur, maintenez-le correctement aligné afin d'éviter tout risque de torsion des broches. Par ailleurs, lorsque vous connectez un câble, assurez-vous au préalable que les connecteurs sont bien orientés et alignés.
Manipulez les composants avec précaution. Un composant, tel qu'un module de mémoire, doit être tenu par les bords et non par les broches.
Avant de retirer un module de mémoire de la carte système ou de débrancher un périphérique de l'ordinateur, éteignez l'ordinateur, débranchez le câble de l'adaptateur CA/CC, retirez toutes les batteries installées dans la baie de batterie ou la baie modulaire et attendez 5 secondes. Cette précaution permet d'éviter d'endommager la carte système.

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 » dans l'annexe de votre Guide d'utilisation en ligne. Les sections spécifiques à chaque organisme de réglementation proposent, de façon spécifique pour tel(le) pays ou zone géographique, des informations EMC/EMI ou relatives à la sécurité des produits.

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 sistema 75

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.
76 Guia 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 (como chaves de carro ou clipes de papel) possam provocar um curto-circuito nos terminais das baterias. O fluxo resultante de corrente excessiva pode gerar temperaturas extremamente altas, podendo danificar a bateria ou causar incêndio ou queimaduras.
Se manusear a bateria de forma inadequada, você poderá sofrer queimaduras. Não desmonte a bateria. Manuseie com muito cuidado baterias danificadas ou que estejam vazando. Se a bateria estiver danificada, é possível que haja vazamento de eletrólitos das células, o que poderá causar lesões.
Mantenha a bateria longe de crianças.
Não guarde ou deixe o computador ou a bateria perto de uma fonte de calor (como radiadores, lareiras, fornos, aquecedores elétricos ou quaisquer outros dispositivos geradores de calor), nem o exponha de qualquer outra forma a temperaturas acima de 60°C (140°F). Quando expostas a temperaturas excessivas, as células da bateria podem explodir ou vazar, oferecendo risco de incêndio.
Não descarte as baterias do computador jogando-as no fogo ou junto com o lixo doméstico. As células da bateria podem explodir. Descarte baterias usadas de acordo com as instruções do fabricante ou entre em contato com a empresa de coleta de lixo para obter mais instruções sobre como descartá-las.
