Setting Up Your Computer

CAUTION: Before performing any of the procedures in this section,

follow the safety instructions in the System Information Guide.

NOTICE: If your computer has an expansion card installed (such as a network card), connect

the appropriate cable to the card, not to the connector on the computer back panel.

You must complete all steps to properly set up your computer. See the appropriate figures

that follow the instructions.

1 Connect the keyboard and mouse.

NOTICE: Do not attempt to operate a PS/2 mouse and a USB mouse simultaneously.

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

2 Connect the modem or network cable.

Insert the network cable, not the phone line, into the network connector. If you have

an optional modem, connect the phone line to the modem.

NOTICE: Do not connect a modem cable to the network adapter. Voltage from telephone

communications can cause damage to the network adapter.

3

Connect the monitor.

Align and gently insert the monitor cable to avoid bending connector pins. Tighten

the thumbscrews on the cable connectors.

NOTE: Some flat-panel displays and graphic cards support Digital Visual Interface (DVI). If

your monitor and card have DVI connectors, Dell recommends that you use DVI instead of VGA.

A second monitor is optional and requires a multimonitor graphics adapter card. To

enable dual-monitor support, both monitors must be attached when the computer

starts. See “Monitor Connections” on page 14 for more information on attaching two

monitors.

4 Connect the speakers.

5 Connect power cables to the computer, monitor, and devices and insert the other ends

of the power cables to electrical outlets.

8 Setup and Quick Reference Guide

6 Verify that the voltage selection switch is set correctly for your location.

Your computer is equipped with one of the following:

• A fixed-voltage power supply — Computers with a fixed-voltage power supply

do not have a voltage selection switch on the back panel and operate at only

one voltage (see the regulatory label on the outside of the computer for its

operating voltage).

• An auto-sensing voltage circuit — Computers with an auto-sensing voltage circuit

do not have a voltage selection switch on the back panel and automatically detect

the correct operating voltage.

• A manual voltage selection switch — Computers with a voltage selection switch

on the back panel must be manually set to operate at the correct operating

voltage.

NOTICE: To help avoid damaging a computer with a manual voltage selection switch, set the

switch for the voltage that most closely matches the AC power available in your location. For

Japan, the voltage selection switch must be set to the 115-V position even though the AC power

available in Japan is 100 V. Also, ensure that your monitor and attached devices are electrically

rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.

7

Press the power buttons to turn on the computer and monitors.

See “Completed Setup” on page 16.

NOTE: Before you install any devices or software that did not ship with your computer, read the

documentation that came with the software or device, or contact the vendor to verify that the

software or device is compatible with your computer and operating system.

Opening the Computer Cover

CAUTION: Before performing any of the procedures in this section, follow the

safety instructions in the System Information Guide.

1

Shut down the computer through the Start menu.

2 Ensure that your computer and attached devices are turned off. If your computer and

attached devices did not automatically turn off when you shut down your computer,

turn them off now.

NOTICE: To disconnect a network cable, first unplug the cable from your computer and then

unplug it from the network wall jack.

3

Disconnect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer.

4 Disconnect your computer and all attached devices from electrical outlets, and then

press the power button to ground the system board.

5 If you have installed a padlock through the padlock ring on the back panel, remove the

padlock.

CAUTION: To guard against electrical shock, always unplug your computer from

the electrical outlet before opening the cover.

6

Lay the computer on its side as shown in the illustration.

NOTICE: Ensure that sufficient space exists to accommodate the open cover—at least 30 cm

(1 ft) of desktop space.

7

Open the computer cover.

– For the mini-tower, push the buttons on both ends and lift the cover open.

– For the desktop, slide the cover release latch toward the power supply of the

computer. Raise the cover, and pivot it toward the front of the computer.

Setup and Quick Reference Guide 17

8 Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer, such as the

metal at the back of the computer, before touching anything inside your computer.

While you work, periodically touch any unpainted metal surface on the computer to

dissipate any static electricity that could harm internal components.

Using System Restore in Windows XP

The Windows XP operating system provides System Restore to allow you to return your

computer to an earlier operating state (without affecting data files) if changes to the

hardware, software, or other system settings have left the computer in an undesirable

operating state.

NOTICE: Back up your data files regularly. System Restore does not monitor your data files or

recover them.

Creating a Restore Point

1 Click the Start button and click Help and Support.

2 Click System Restore.

3 Follow the instructions on the screen.

Restoring the Computer to an Earlier Operating State

NOTICE: Before you restore the computer to an earlier operating state, save and close all open

files and close all open programs. Do not alter, open, or delete any files or programs until the

system restoration is complete.

1

Click the Start button, point to All Programs→Accessories→System Tools,

and then click System Restore.

2 Ensure that Restore my computer to an earlier time is selected, and then click Next.

If a calendar date has only one restore point, then that restore point is automatically

selected. If two or more restore points are available, click the restore point that you

prefer.

5 Click Next.

The Restoration Complete screen appears after System Restore finishes collecting

data, and then the computer automatically restarts.

6 After the computer restarts, click OK.

To change the restore point, you can either repeat the steps using a different restore

point, or you can undo the restoration.

When to Use the Dell Diagnostics

If you experience a problem with your computer, perform the checks in “Solving Problems”

in your User’s Guide and run the Dell Diagnostics before you contact Dell for technical

assistance. Running the Dell Diagnostics may help you resolve the problem without

for Dell's service and support personnel.

The Dell Diagnostics allows you to:

• Perform tests on one or all devices.

• Select tests based on a symptom of the problem you are having.

• Choose how many times a test is run.

• Suspend testing if an error is detected.

• Access help information that describes the tests and devices.

• Receive status messages that tell you whether tests completed successfully.

• Receive error messages if problems are detected.
