Lets you attach your computer to a docking device.

See the Dell documentation that came with your docking device for more

information.

NOTICE:

Your computer features Undock & Go™ technology that allows you to

undock your computer without going into standby mode. Because the computer

may not automatically go into standby mode when it is undocked, be sure the

settings in the Power Options control panel do not prohibit the computer from going

into standby mode. If you change the Power Options control panel to prohibit the

computer from going into standby mode, you greatly increase the chances of

causing your battery to wear down quickly or causing your computer to overheat.

V EN T S

The computer uses an internal fan to create airflow through the fan air

vents, which prevents the computer from overheating.

NOTE:

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.

CAUTION:

Do not block, push objects into, or allow dust to accumulate in the air

vents. Do not store your 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.
