Setting Up Your Studio XPS Laptop

This section provides information to help you

set up your Studio XPS™ 1640 and connect

peripherals.

Before Setting Up Your Studio XPS

When positioning your Studio XPS, ensure

that you have easy access to a power source,

adequate ventilation, and a level surface to

place your Studio XPS.

Restricting airflow around your Studio XPS may

cause it to overheat. To prevent overheating

ensure that you leave at least 10.2 cm (4 in) at

the back of the Studio XPS and a minimum of

5.1 cm (2 in) on all other sides. You should never

put your Studio XPS in an enclosed space,

such as a cabinet, carrying case, or drawer

when it is turned 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. 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.

NOTICE: Placing or stacking heavy or sharp

objects on the Studio XPS may result in

permanent damage to the Studio XPS.

Setting Up Your Studio XPS Laptop

Connecting the AC Adapter

Connect the AC adapter to the Studio XPS and

then plug it into a wall outlet or surge protector.

CAUTION: The AC adapter works with

worldwide electrical outlets. However,

power connectors and power strips vary

among countries. Using an incompatible

cable or incorrectly connecting the cable to

a power strip or electrical outlet may cause

fire or equipment damage.

Connecting the Network Cable

(Optional)

If you plan to use a wired network connection,

plug in the network cable.

Turning on Your Studio XPS

Setting Up Your Studio XPS Laptop

To turn on your Studio XPS, lightly press the

power button on the center control cover

and then release.

Using the Wireless Button

To turn on wireless, with the computer turned

on, lightly touch the wireless symbol on the

center control cover and then release.

This button allows you to quickly turn all of your

wireless radios (Bluetooth®, WiFi, and WWAN)

off, such as when you are asked to disable all

wireless radios on an airplane flight. Pressing

this button one time turns all of your radios off.

Pressing it again returns your wireless radios to

their respective states they were in before you

pressed the button the first time.

Windows Vista®Setup

Your Studio XPS is preconfigured with Windows

Vista. To set up Windows Vista for the first

time, follow the instructions on the screen.

These steps are mandatory and may take

up to 15 minutes to complete. The screens

will take you through several procedures

including accepting license agreements,

setting preferences and setting up an Internet

connection.

NOTICE: Do not interrupt the operating

system’s setup process, doing so may

render your Studio XPS unusable.

Setting Up Your Studio XPS Laptop

Connecting to the Internet

(Optional)

NOTE: ISPs (Internet Service Providers)

and ISP offerings vary by country.

To connect to the Internet, you need a network

connection or an external modem and an

Internet service provider (ISP).

NOTE: If an external USB modem is not

a part of your original order, you can

purchase one from the Dell website at

dell.com.

Setting Up a Wired Internet Connection

If you are using a dial-up connection, connect

the telephone line to the external USB modem

(optional) and to the telephone wall connector

before you set up your Internet connection.

If you are using a DSL or cable/satellite modem

connection, contact your ISP or cellular

telephone service for setup instructions and

see “Setting Up Your Internet Connection”

on page 9.
