About Your Computer
This section provides information about setting up your Inspiron 1410 laptop and connecting peripherals.
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
10.2cm (4 in) at the back of the computer and a minimum of 5.1 cm (2 in) on all other sides. You should never put your computer in an enclosed space, such as a cabinet or drawer when it is powered on.
NOTICE: Placing or stacking heavy or sharp objects on the computer may result in permanent damage to the computer.
Connect the AC Adapter
Connect the AC adapter to the computer and then plug it into a wall outlet or surge protector.
CAUTION: The AC adapter works with electrical outlets worldwide. However, power 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 equipment damage.
