The following documents are provided with your computer:
•The Getting Started placemat, which provides step-by-step instructions for con-
necting your computer.
NOTE: The Getting Started placemat is not available in all regions.
•The User’s Guide, which is an HTML document that includes descriptions of com-
puter features, instructions on installing and configuring drivers and utilities,
information on the System Setup program, and instructions for attaching devices
to the connectors on your computer’s back panel. The User’s Guide is located on
your hard-disk drive.
You may also have one or more of the following documents:
•Documentation updates, which are sometimes included with your computer to
describe changes to your computer or software. Always read these updates
before consulting any other documentation because the updates often contain
the latest information.
•Operating system documentation, which is included if you ordered your operating
system software from Dell.
•Documentation included with any options you purchase separately from your
computer. This documentation includes information that you need to configure
and install these options in your Dell computer.

Dell provides a number of tools to help you if your computer does not perform as
expected. For information on these help tools, see the “Getting Help” section in the
online User’s Guide.
If you have a computer problem and are unable to access the online User’s Guide, use
the Dell Diagnostics to help you determine the cause of the problem and to help you
solve it. The Diagnostics are on the System Software CD that came with your
computer.
NOTE: Run the Diagnostics before you call Dell’s technical support because the diag-
nostic tests provide information you may need when you call.
To start the Diagnostics, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Undock the computer if you have it docked.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press <F2> at the Dell BIOS splash screen to access the System Setup menu.
5. Select the following boot sequence:
•Boot First Device: Diskette Drive
•Boot Second Device: CDROM / DVDROM Drive
•Boot Third Device: Internal HDD
6. Insert the System Software CD into the CD-ROM drive.
7. Turn the computer off.
8. Turn the computer on.
The system restarts and automatically begins to run the Diagnostics.
9. When you have completed running Diagnostics, remove the Dell System Soft-
ware CD from the CD-ROM drive.
To change the boot sequence, repeat steps 1 through 5, customizing the boot
sequence to fit your needs. Restart your system.

NOTE: A partially charged battery is already installed in the computer, but Dell recom-
mends that you attach the AC adapter now so that the battery can complete its charge
and the operating system setup can proceed without interruption.
To connect your computer to the AC adapter, perform the following steps:
1. Plug the AC adapter’s attached cable into the AC adapter connector on the com-
puter (see Figure 1-2).

•Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always follow installation
instructions closely.
•Do not carry a battery pack in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal
objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting
excessive current flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in
damage from burns.
•Be sure that nothing rests on your adapter’s power cable and that the cable is not
located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
