Setting Up Your Inspiron Laptop

This section provides information about setting

up your Inspiron 1210 laptop and connecting

peripherals.

Before Setting Up Your Computer

When positioning your computer, ensure that

you allow easy access to a power source,

adequate ventilation, and a level surface to

place your computer.

Restricting airflow around your Inspiron

laptop may cause it to overheat. To prevent

overheating ensure that you leave at least

10.2 cm (4 in) at the back of the computer and a

minimum of 5.1 cm (2 in) on all other sides. You

should never put your computer in an enclosed

space, such as a cabinet or drawer when it is

powered on.

CAUTION: 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.

NOTICE: Placing or stacking heavy or sharp

objects on the computer may result in

permanent damage to the computer.

Setting Up Your Inspiron Laptop

Connect the AC Adapter

Connect the AC adapter to the computer and

then plug it into a wall outlet or surge protector.

CAUTION: 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 a power strip or electrical outlet may

cause fire or equipment damage.

Setting Up Your Inspiron Laptop

Connect the Network Cable

(optional)

To use a wired network connection, plug in the

network cable.
