CHAPTER 1: SETTING UP YOUR LAPTOP
Before Setting Up Your Laptop
Congratulations on the purchase of your Alienware M17x!
Read all safety and setup instructions before connecting your new laptop. Begin by carefully opening the box and removing all components that were shipped to you.
Before setting up your laptop or components, see the included invoice to verify that all items ordered are present and be sure to inspect all items for any physical damage that may have occurred during shipment. Report any missing components or damaged items to customer service within 5 days of receiving the shipment. Anything reported missing or damaged after the first 5 days of receiving a shipment will not be honored. Some of the most common items to check for include:
•• Laptop and AC adapter with power cable
•• Microsoft
•• Monitor with power cable and video cable (if ordered)
•• Keyboard (if ordered)
•• Mouse (if ordered)
•• Multimedia speakers and
•• Joystick controllers (if ordered)
You may also need a small flathead and/or a Phillips head screwdriver for connecting peripheral cables to the laptop.
