This section provides information about

setting up your Dell Inspiron laptop.

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 laptop may

cause it to overheat. To prevent overheating

ensure that you leave at least 10.2cm

(4inches) at the back of the computer and

a minimum of 5.1 cm (2 inches) on all other

sides. You should never place your computer

in an enclosed space, such as a cabinet or

drawer when it is powered on.

WARNING: Do not block, push objects

into, or allow dust to accumulate

in the air vents. Do not place your

Dell computer in a low-airflow

environment, such as a closed

briefcase, or on fabric surfaces, such as

carpets or rugs, while it is powered on.

Restricting the airflow can damage the

computer, deteriorate the computer

performance, 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.

CAUTION: Placing or stacking heavy

or sharp objects on the computer may

result in permanent damage to the

computer.
