WARNING: Do not block, push objects into, or allow dust to accumulate in the air vents. Do
not store your Dell™ computer in a low-airflow environment, such as a closed briefcase, while it
is running. Restricting the airflow can damage the computer or cause a fire. The computer turns
on the fan when the computer gets hot. Fan noise is normal and does not indicate a problem with
the fan or the computer.
Quick Setup
WARNING: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, read the safety information
that shipped with your computer. For additional best practices information, see
www.dell.com/regulatory_compliance.
WARNING: The AC adapter works with electrical outlets worldwide. However, power
connectors and power strips vary among countries. Using an incompatible cable or improperly
connecting the cable to the power strip or electrical outlet may cause fire or equipment damage.
CAUTION: When you disconnect the AC adapter cable from the computer, grasp the connector,
not the cable itself, and pull firmly but gently to avoid damaging the cable. When you wrap the AC
adapter cable, ensure that you follow the angle of the connector on the AC adapter to avoid
damaging the cable.
NOTE: Some devices may not be included if you did not order them.
NOTE: It is recommended that you turn on and shut down your computer at least once before you
install any cards or connect the computer to a docking device or other external device, such as a
printer.
1 Connect the AC adapter to the AC adapter connector on the computer and to the electrical
outlet.
