Setting Up Your Computer NOTICE: When setting up your computer, secure all cables toward the back of your work area to prevent the cables from being pulled, tangled, or stepped on. NOTICE: To prevent the computer from overheating and shutting down, do not place the computer in a poorly ventilated area.
Installing a Device in the Module Bay You can install a Dell™ portable device such as a floppy drive, CD/DVD drive, or second hard drive in the module bay. Your Dell computer ships with either a CD/DVD drive or an airbay (filler blank) installed in the module bay.
Connecting External Devices CAUTION: Before performing any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide. You must complete all steps to properly set up your computer. See the appropriate figures that follow the instructions. Use the USB connectors on the back of your computer to connect the keyboard and mouse.

Connect power cables to the computer, monitor, and devices and insert the other ends of the power cables to electrical outlets. Press the power buttons to turn on the computer and monitor.

Connecting a DVI Monitor If you have a DVI-compatible monitor, plug the cable from your monitor in to the white DVI display-connector on the computer back panel. Connecting a VGA Monitor If you have a VGA-compatible monitor, use the adapter cable to connect the cable from your monitor to the white DVI display-connector on the computer back panel.
Connecting Two Monitors Use the adapter cable to connect both a VGA monitor and a DVI monitor to the white DVI display- connector on the computer back panel. Installing a Hard Drive CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.
CAUTION: If your power cord or adapter provides a green ground wire for connection to an electrical outlet, do not permit contact between the green ground wire and power leads because electrical shock, fire, or damage to your computer can occur (see the following figure). Connect the metal ground connector to the grounding source on the outlet (see the following figure): Loosen the grounding source.
CAUTION: To prevent static damage to components inside your computer, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer’s electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis. Remove the computer cover. Rotate the cover release knob in a clockwise direction, as shown in the figure.
