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.

permanent damage to your computer.
