Dell Enterprise Training and Certification is available; see www.dell.com/training for more information. This service may not be offered in all locations.

Installation and Configuration

CAUTION: Before performing the following procedure, read and follow the safety

instructions and important regulatory information in your Product Information Guide.

This section describes the steps to set up your system for the first time.

CAUTION: Installing the feet on a stand-alone tower system is necessary to

provide a stable foundation for the system. Failure to install the feet poses the risk of having the system tip over, possibly causing bodily injury or damage to the system.

CAUTION: Whenever you need to lift the system, get others to assist you.

To avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the system by yourself.

Unpacking the System

Unpack your system and identify each item.

Keep all shipping materials in case you need them later.

See the documentation included with your system on installing the system stabilizer feet.

The connectors on the back of your system have icons indicating which cable to plug into each connector. Be sure to tighten the screws (if any) on the monitor's cable connector.

Connecting the Power

Connect the system’s power cable(s) to the system.

Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source such as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) or a power distribution unit (PDU).

8 Getting Started With Your System

Turning on the System

Turn on the system and monitor (optional).

Press the power button on the system and the monitor. The power indicators should light.

Adjust the monitor’s controls until the displayed image is satisfactory.
