Transferring Information to a New Computer
You can use your operating system wizards to help you transfer files and other
data from one computer to another computer.
Microsoft Windows XP
The Microsoft
Windows XP operating system provides the Files and Settings
Transfer Wizard to transfer data, such as:
• E-mail messages
• Toolbar settings
•Window sizes
• Internet bookmarks
You can transfer data from one computer to another computer over a network
or serial connection, or by storing the data on removable media, such as
a writable CD or DVD.
NOTE: You can transfer information from one computer to another computer by
directly connecting a serial cable to the input/output (I/O) ports of the two
computers. To transfer data over a serial connection, you must use the Network
Connections utility in the Control Panel to perform additional configuration steps,
such as setting up an advanced connection and designating the host computer and
the guest computer.
For instructions on setting up a direct cable connection between two computers,
see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article #305621, (How to Set Up a Direct Cable
Connection Between Two Computers in Windows XP). This information may not be
available in certain countries.
Using the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard requires the Operating System
installation media that came with your computer or a wizard disk, which the
wizard can create for you.
NOTE: For more information about transferring data, search support.dell.com for
document #154781 (What Are The Different Methods To Transfer Files From My Old

Power Protection Devices
Several devices are available to protect against power fluctuations and
failures:
• Surge protectors
• Line conditioners
• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
28 Quick Reference Guide
Surge Protectors
Surge protectors and power strips equipped with surge protection help
prevent damage to your computer from voltage spikes that can occur during
electrical storms or after power interruptions. Some surge protector
manufacturers include warranty coverage for certain types of damage.
Carefully read the device warranty when choosing a surge protector and
compare joule ratings to determine the relative effectiveness of different
devices. A device with a higher joule rating offers more protection.
NOTICE: Most surge protectors do not protect against power fluctuations or
power interruptions caused by nearby lightning strikes. When lightning occurs in
your area, disconnect the telephone line from the telephone wall jack and
disconnect your computer from the electrical outlet.
Many surge protectors have a telephone jack for modem protection. See the
surge protector documentation for modem connection instructions.
NOTICE: Not all surge protectors offer network adapter protection. Disconnect the
network cable from the network wall jack during electrical storms.
Line Conditioners
NOTICE: Line conditioners do not protect against power interruptions.
Line conditioners are designed to maintain AC voltage at a fairly constant
level.
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
NOTICE: Loss of power while data is being saved to the hard drive may result in
data loss or file damage.
NOTE: To ensure maximum battery operating time, connect only your computer to
a UPS. Connect other devices, such as a printer, to a separate power strip that
provides surge protection.
A UPS protects against power fluctuations and interruptions. UPS devices
contain a battery that provides temporary power to connected devices when AC
power is interrupted. The battery charges while AC power is available. See the
UPS manufacturer documentation for information on battery operating time
and to ensure that the device is approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
Quick Reference Guide 29
Cleaning Your Computer
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the
safety instructions in the

Computer, Keyboard, and Monitor
CAUTION: Before you clean your computer, disconnect the computer from the
electrical outlet. Clean your computer with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do
not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, which may contain flammable substances.
• Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to gently remove dust from
the slots and holes on your computer and from between the keys on the
keyboard.
NOTICE: Do not wipe the display screen with a soap or alcohol solution. Doing so
may damage the antiglare coating.
• To clean your monitor screen, lightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water.
If possible, use a special screen-cleaning tissue or solution suitable for the
monitor’s antistatic coating.
• Wipe the keyboard, computer, and plastic part of the monitor with a soft
cleaning cloth moistened with water.
Do not soak the cloth or let water drip inside your computer or keyboard.
Mouse (Non-Optical)
1
Turn the retainer ring on the underside of your mouse counterclockwise,
and then remove the ball.
2
Wipe the ball with a clean, lint-free cloth.
3
Blow carefully into the ball cage to dislodge dust and lint.
4
Clean the rollers inside the ball cage with a cotton swab moistened lightly
with isopropyl alcohol.
5
Recenter the rollers in their channels, as needed. Ensure that fluff from
the swab is not left on the rollers.
6
Replace the ball and retainer ring, and then turn the retainer ring clockwise
until it clicks into place.
30 Quick Reference Guide
Floppy Drive
NOTICE: Do not attempt to clean drive heads with a swab. The heads may become
misaligned and prevent the drive from operating.
Clean your floppy drive using a commercially available cleaning kit. These
kits contain pretreated floppy disks to remove contaminants that accumulate
during normal operation.
CDs and DVDs
NOTICE: Always use compressed air to clean the lens in the CD/DVD drive, and
follow the instructions that come with the compressed air. Never touch the lens in
the drive.
1
Hold the disc by its outer edge. You can also touch the inside edge of the
center hole.
NOTICE: To prevent damaging the surface, do not wipe in a circular motion around
the disc.
2
With a soft, lint-free cloth, gently wipe the bottom of the disc (the
unlabeled side) in a straight line from the center to the outer edge of the
disc.
For stubborn dirt, try using water or a diluted solution of water and mild
soap. You can also purchase commercial products that clean discs and
provide some protection from dust, fingerprints, and scratches. Cleaning
products for CDs are safe to use on DVDs.
