This section provides information about setting

up your Inspiron 1320 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 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 store 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.

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: Use only Dell AC adapter family PA-12, PA-2E, and PA-3E with your computer.
