XPS One

This section provides information about

setting up your XPS One A2420 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 XPS One may

cause it to overheat. To prevent overheating

ensure that you leave 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 when it is powered on.

Setting Up Your XPS One™ Computer

Set Up the Wireless Keyboard and

Mouse

Your XPS One computer supports a special

wireless (non-Bluetooth®) keyboard and mouse

which are optimized for use with your computer.

NOTE: The wireless keyboard and mouse

have special features which may not be

available on other devices that could be

used with your computer.

To set up your wireless keyboard and mouse:

Install the batteries in the wireless keyboard1.

and mouse.

Setting Up Your XPS One™ Computer

Turn on the wireless keyboard and mouse.2.

NOTE: The wireless keyboard and mouse

are synced and ready to use. If you have a

problem setting up your wireless keyboard

and mouse, see “Wireless Keyboard or

Mouse Problems” on page 31.

Setting Up Your XPS One™ Computer

Connect the Network Cable

(Optional)

A network connection is not required to complete

this computer setup, but if you have an existing

network or Internet connection that uses a cable

connection (such as a home cable modem or

Ethernet jack), you can connect it now.

Use only an Ethernet cable (RJ45 connector). Do

not plug a telephone cable (RJ11 connector) into

the network connector.

To attach your computer to a network or

broadband device, connect one end of a

network cable to either a network port or a

broadband device. Connect the other end of the

network cable to the network adapter connector

on the back panel of your computer. A click

indicates that the network cable has been

securely attached.
