Setting Up Your Inspiron Laptop

INSPIRON

This section provides information about setting up your Inspiron 1318 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 computer 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.
