Setting Up Your Studio 540

This section provides information about setting

up your Studio 540 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 Studio 540 may

cause it to overheat. To prevent overheating

ensure that you leave at least 10.2 cm (4 inches)

at the back of the computer and a minimum of

5.1 cm (2 inches) on all other sides. You should

never place your computer in an enclosed

space, such as a cabinet or drawer when it is

powered on.

Setting Up Your Studio 540

Connect the Display

Your computer uses one of two

different connectors for connecting

the display. The HDMI connector is a

high‑performance digital connector

that carries both video and audio

signals for displays such as TVs and

monitors with integrated speakers.

The VGA connector carries only video

signals for displays such as monitors

and projectors.

NOTE: A DVI connector may be available on

your computer if you purchased an optional

discreet graphics card.

Connect Using the VGA Connector

Connect the display using a VGA cable (which

usually has blue connectors at both ends).

adapter from the Dell website at dell.com.
