Setting Up Your Inspiron Laptop
This section provides information about setting up your
Inspiron 1427 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
(4in. ) at the back of the computer and a minimum of
5.1cm (2in. ) on all other sides. When the computer is
powered on, you should never put it in an enclosed
space, such as a cabinet or drawer.
NOTICE: Placing or stacking heavy or sharp
objects on the computer may result in permanent
damage to the computer.
