Getting Started/Setup

CAUTION: Before performing any of the procedures in this section, follow the
safety instructions page 7.
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.
Connect the keyboard and mouse.
1
NOTICE: Do not attempt to operate a PS/2 mouse and a USB mouse simultaneously.
NOTE: If you have a Universal Serial Bus (USB)-compliant mouse or keyboard, use the USB
connectors on the back of your system.
Connect the modem or network cable.
2
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.
Connect the monitor.
3
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.
NOTE: Some monitors have the video connector underneath the back of the screen. See the
documentation that came with your monitor for its connector locations.
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.
Connect the speakers.
4
Connect power cables to the computer, monitor, and devices and insert the other ends
5
of the power cables to electrical outlets.
