Setting Up Your Studio XPS Laptop

This section provides information to help you set

up your Studio XPS™1640/1645/1647 laptop and

connect peripherals.

Before Setting Up Your Computer

When positioning your computer, ensure that

you have easy access to a power source,

adequate ventilation, and a level surface to

place your computer.

Restricting airflow around your computer 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, carrying case, 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.

Setting Up Your Studio XPS Laptop

Connecting 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

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.

Setting Up Your Studio XPS Laptop

Turning on Your Computer

To turn on your computer, 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®, Wi‑Fi, 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.

Setting Up Your Studio XPS Laptop

Set Up Microsoft Windows

Your computer is preconfigured with the

operating system you selected at the time of

purchase. To set up Microsoft®Windows®for the

first time, follow the instructions on the screen.

These steps are mandatory and may take some

time to complete. The screens will take you

through several procedures including accepting

license agreements, setting preferences and

setting up an Internet connection.

CAUTION: Do not interrupt the operating

system’s setup process. Doing so may

render your computer unusable and you

will need to reinstall the operating system.

NOTE: For optimal performance of your

computer, it is recommended that you

download and install the latest BIOS and

drivers for your computer available at

support.dell.com.

NOTE: For more information on the

operating system and features, see

support.dell.com/MyNewDell.

Create System Recovery Media

(Recommended)

NOTE: It is recommended that you create a

system recovery media as soon as you set

up Microsoft Windows.

The system recovery media can be used to

restore your computer to the operating state it

was in when you purchased the computer, while

preserving data files (without the need of the

Operating System

disc). You can use the system

recovery media if changes to the hardware,

software, drivers, or other system settings have

left the computer in an undesirable operating

state.

You will require the following to create the

system recovery media:

Dell DataSafe Local Backup•

USB key with a minimum capacity of 8 GB or•

DVD‑R/DVD+R/Blu‑ray Disc™

NOTE: Dell DataSafe Local Backup does

not support rewritable discs.
