INSPIRON

Setting Up Your Inspiron™Laptop

This section provides information about setting

up your Inspiron 1440 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 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, while it is powered on.

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.

CAUTION: 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.

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 a power strip or electrical outlet may cause fire or permanent damage

to your computer.

NOTE: Charge the computer battery for at least 12 hours before using your computer on

battery power.

Setting Up Your Inspiron™ Laptop

Connect the Network Cable (Optional)

To use a wired network connection, connect the network cable.
