CHAPTER 1: SETTING UP YOUR LAPTOP
Product Documentation and Media
The documentation that ships with your Alienware laptop is designed to provide answers to many of the questions that may arise as you explore your new laptop’s capabilities. You may see the documentation for technical information or general use as needed to answer questions in the future, or aid you in finding answers and solutions. The media included with your laptop is referenced in some sections of the documentation and may be needed to complete certain tasks. As always, our technical support staff is available to assist you.
Placing Your Laptop
WARNING: Do not place the laptop near or over a radiator or heating vent. If your laptop is placed in a cabinet, ensure that adequate ventilation is provided. Do not place the laptop in a humid location or in any area where the laptop may be exposed to rain or water. Be careful not to spill liquid of any kind on or into the laptop.
When placing your laptop, ensure that:
•• It is placed on a surface that is both level and stable.
•• The power and other cable connectors are not jammed between the laptop and a wall – or any other object.
•• Nothing obstructs airflow in front of, behind, or below the laptop.
•• The laptop has enough room so that optical drives and other external storage drives can be easily accessed.
