Setting Up Your Studio Laptop

This section provides information about setting
up your Studio 1536/1537 laptop 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
laptop may cause it to overheat. To prevent
overheating ensure that you leave at least
10.2 cm (4 in) at the back of the computer and
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 or drawer
when it is powered on.
CAUTION: Do not block, push objects into,
or allow dust to accumulate in the air
vents. Do not store your Dell™ computer
in a low-airflow environment, such as
a closed briefcase, while it is running.
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.
NOTICE: Placing or stacking heavy or sharp
objects on the computer may result in
permanent damage to the computer.
