CAUTION: Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety and to help protect

your computer and working environment from potential damage.

General

• Do not attempt to service the computer yourself unless you are a trained service

technician. Always follow installation instructions closely.

• To help prevent electric shock, plug the computer and device power cables into properly

grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with 3-prong plugs to help ensure

proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable.

If you must use an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.

• To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not use your computer during an

electrical storm.

• To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or disconnect any

cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical

storm.

• If your computer includes a modem, the cable used with the modem should be

manufactured with a minimum wire size of 26 American wire gauge (AWG) and an FCC-

compliant RJ-11 modular plug.

• Before you clean your computer, disconnect the computer from the electrical outlet.

Clean your computer with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use liquid or aerosol

cleaners, which may contain flammable substances.

• To help avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 5 seconds after turning off the

computer before disconnecting a device from the computer.

F1697ebk0.book Page 8 Monday, May 26, 2003 10:26 AM

Setup and Quick Reference Guide 9

• To avoid shorting out your computer when disconnecting a network cable, first unplug

the cable from the network adapter on the back of your computer, and then from the

network jack. When reconnecting a network cable to your computer, first plug the cable

into the network jack, and then into the network adapter.

• To help protect your computer from sudden, transient increases and decreases in

electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply

(UPS).

• Ensure that nothing rests on your computer’s cables and that the cables are not located

where they can be stepped on or tripped over.

• Do not push any objects into the openings of your computer. Doing so can cause fire or

electric shock by shorting out interior components.

• Keep your computer away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling

vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath your computer; do not place your computer

in a closed-in wall unit or on a bed, sofa, or rug.

When Using Your Computer

As you use your computer, observe the following safe-handling guidelines.

CAUTION: Do not operate your computer with any cover(s) (including computer

covers, bezels, filler brackets, front-panel inserts, and so on) removed.

• Your computer is equipped with one of the following:

– A fixed-voltage power supply — Computers with a fixed-voltage power supply do not

have a voltage selection switch on the back panel and operate at only one voltage (see

the regulatory label on the outside of the computer for its operating voltage).

– An auto-sensing voltage circuit — Computers with an auto-sensing voltage circuit do

not have a voltage selection switch on the back panel and automatically detect the

correct operating voltage.

– A manual voltage selection switch — Computers with a voltage selection switch on

the back panel must be manually set to operate at the correct operating voltage.

Set the switch to the position that most closely matches the voltage used in your

location.

NOTICE: To help avoid damaging a computer with a manual voltage selection switch, set the

switch for the voltage that most closely matches the AC power available in your location. For Japan,

the voltage selection switch must be set to the 115-V position even though the AC power available in

Japan is 100 V. Also, ensure that your monitor and attached devices are electrically rated to

operate with the AC power available in your location.

• Before working inside the computer, unplug the computer to help prevent electric shock

or system board damage. Certain system board components continue to receive power

any time the computer is connected to AC power.

Setup and Quick Reference Guide 11

When Working Inside Your Computer

Before you open the computer cover, perform the following steps in the sequence indicated.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to service the computer yourself, except as explained in

your online Dell™ documentation or in instructions otherwise provided to you by

Dell. Always follow installation and service instructions closely.

NOTICE: To help avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 5 seconds after turning off the

computer before removing a component from the system board or disconnecting a device from the

computer.

1

Perform an orderly computer shutdown using the operating system menu.

2

Turn off your computer and any devices connected to the computer.

3

Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis, such as the metal

around the card-slot openings at the back of the computer, before touching anything

inside your computer.

While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis

to dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components.

4

Disconnect your computer and devices, including the monitor, from their electrical

outlets. Also, disconnect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer.

Doing so reduces the potential for personal injury or shock.

In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:

• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the

cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this

type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnecting the cable. As you pull

connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also,

before you connect a cable, ensure that both connectors are correctly oriented and

aligned.

• Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts on a

card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a component such

as a microprocessor chip by its edges, not by its pins.

CAUTION: There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed.

Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the

manufacturer. Do not dispose of the battery along with household waste. Contact

your local waste disposal agency for the address of the nearest battery deposit site.

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your computer. To prevent static

damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer’s

electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by touching an unpainted

metal surface on the computer chassis.

As you continue to work inside the computer, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to

remove any static charge your body may have accumulated.

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

• Do not remove components from their antistatic packing material until you are ready to

install the component in your computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging,

discharge static electricity from your body.

• When transporting an electrostatic sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic

container or packaging.

• Handle all electrostatic sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use

antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.

Ergonomic Computing Habits

CAUTION: Improper or prolonged keyboard use may result in injury.

CAUTION: Viewing the monitor screen for extended periods of time may result in

eye strain.

For comfort and efficiency, observe the ergonomic guidelines in your User’s Guide when setting

up and using your computer.

Getting Started/Setup

CAUTION: Before performing any of the procedures in this section, follow the

safety instructions in “CAUTION: Safety Instructions” on page 8.

NOTICE: If your computer has an expansion card installed (such as a network card), connect

the appropriate cable to the card, not to the connector on the computer back panel.

You must complete all steps to properly set up your computer. See the appropriate

illustrations that follow the instructions.

1

Connect the keyboard and mouse.

NOTICE: Do not attempt to operate a PS/2 mouse and a USB mouse simultaneously.

NOTE: If you have a Universal Serial Bus (USB)-compliant mouse or keyboard, use the USB

connectors on the back of your system.

2

Connect the modem or network cable.

Insert the network cable, not the phone line, into the network connector. If you have

an optional modem, connect the phone line to the modem.

NOTICE: Do not connect a modem cable to the network adapter. Voltage from telephone

communications can cause damage to the network adapter.

3

Connect the monitor.

Align and gently insert the monitor cable to avoid bending connector pins. Tighten

the thumbscrews on the cable connectors.

NOTE: Some monitors have the video connector underneath the back of the screen. See the

documentation that came with your monitor for its connector locations.

Battery Disposal

Your computer uses a lithium-coin cell battery. The lithium-ion battery is a long-life battery,

and it is very possible that you will never need to replace it. However, should you need to

replace it, see your User’s Guide.

Do not dispose of the battery along with household waste. Contact your local waste disposal

agency for the address of the nearest battery deposit site.
