Setting Up Your Computer

CAUTION: Before performing any of the procedures in this section, follow the

safety instructions in Product Information Guide.

NOTICE: If your computer has an expansion card installed (such as a modem

card), connect the appropriate cable to the card, not to the connector on the back panel.

NOTICE: To help allow the computer to maintain proper operating temperature,

ensure that you do not place the computer too close to a wall or other storage compartment that might prevent air circulation around the chassis. See your Product Information Guide for more information.

NOTE: Before you install any devices or software that did not ship with your

computer, read the documentation that came with the device or software, or contact the vendor to verify that the device or software is compatible with your computer and operating system.

You must complete all the steps to properly set up your computer. See the appropriate figures that follow the instructions.

NOTICE: Do not attempt to operate a PS/2 mouse and a USB mouse simultaneously.

Connect the keyboard and mouse.

NOTICE: Do not connect a modem cable to the network adapter connector.

Voltage from telephone communications can cause damage to the network adapter

Connect the modem or network cable.

Insert the network cable, not the telephone line, into the network connector. If you have an optional modem, connect the telephone line to the modem.

10 Quick Reference Guide

Connect the monitor.

Align and gently insert the monitor cable to avoid bending connector pins. Tighten the thumbscrews on the cable connectors.

NOTE: Some monitors have the video connector underneath the back of the

screen. See the documentation that came with your monitor for its connector locations.

Connect the speakers.

Connect power cables to the computer, monitor, and devices and connect the other ends of the power cables to electrical outlets.

NOTICE: To avoid damaging a computer with a manual voltage-selection switch,

set the switch for the voltage that most closely matches the AC power available in your location.

NOTICE: In Japan, the voltage selection switch must be set to the 115-V position

even though the AC power available in Japan is 100 V.

Verify that the voltage selection switch is set correctly for your location.

Your computer has a manual voltage-selection switch. Computers with a voltage selection switch on the back panel must be manually set to operate at the correct operating voltage.

computer and attached devices did not automatically turn off when you shut down your operating system, press and hold the power button for about 4 seconds to turn them off.

Before Working Inside Your Computer

Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer from potential damage and to help ensure your own personal safety.

CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the

safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.

CAUTION: Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components

or contacts on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a component such as a processor by its edges, not by its pins.

NOTICE: Only a certified service technician should perform repairs on your

computer. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty.

NOTICE: When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief

loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before you disconnect the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, ensure that both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

NOTICE: To avoid damaging the computer, perform the following steps before you

begin working inside the computer.

Turn off your computer.

If the computer is connected to a docking device (docked), undock it. See the documentation that came with your docking device for instructions.

NOTICE: To disconnect a network cable, first unplug the cable from your computer

and then unplug it from the network wall jack.

Disconnect all telephone or network cables from the computer.

Disconnect your computer and all attached devices from their electrical outlets, and then press the power button to ground the system board.

If applicable, remove the computer stand (for instructions, see the documentation that came with the stand) and the cable cover, if attached (see "Cable Cover (Optional)" on page 57).

14 Quick Reference Guide

CAUTION: To guard against electrical shock, always unplug your computer from

the electrical outlet before removing the cover.

Remove the computer cover.

NOTICE: Before touching anything inside your computer, ground yourself by

touching an unpainted metal surface, such as the metal at the back of the computer. While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to dissipate any static electricity that could harm internal components.
