This section provides information about setting

up your Studio 1745/1747 laptop.

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

laptop 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.

WARNING: Do not block, push objects

into, or allow dust to accumulate in the air

vents. Do not place your Dell™ computer

in a low-airflow environment, such as a

closed briefcase, while it is powered on.

Restricting the airflow can damage the

computer or cause a fire. The computer

turns on the fan when the computer gets

hot. Fan noise is normal and does not

indicate a problem with the fan or the

computer.

CAUTION: Placing or stacking heavy or

sharp objects on the computer may result

in permanent damage to the computer.

Setting Up Your Studio Laptop

Connect the AC Adapter

Connect the AC adapter to the computer and then plug it into a wall outlet or surge protector.

WARNING: The AC adapter works with electrical outlets worldwide. However, power

connectors and power strips vary among countries. Using an incompatible cable or

improperly connecting the cable to a power strip or electrical outlet may cause fire or

permanent damage to your computer.

NOTE: Connect the power cord to the adapter firmly and ensure that the light on the adapter is

on when you turn on power.

NOTE: Use only Dell AC adapter family PA-3E, PA-10, and PA-12 with your computer.

Setting Up Your Studio Laptop

Connect the Network Cable (Optional)

To use a wired network connection, connect the network cable.

Setting Up Your Studio Laptop
