Before using this guide, connect your computer according to the steps on the Getting

Started sheet. Failure to properly connect your computer may result in computer mal-

functions or damage.

Operating System Setup

Your Dell computer has been shipped with one of the following operating systems

already installed:

•

Microsoft

Windows

•

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional

•

Microsoft Windows NT

•

Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition

Perform the steps in one of the following sections that correspond to your operating

system so that the software functions properly on your Dell computer.

NOTICE: To prevent possible conflicts with Windows Me, Windows 2000

Professional, or Windows 98 Second Edition, do not connect devices such as

printers or install items such as expansion cards before you complete the

operating system setup.

NOTICE: If you experience problems and the computer stops responding,

do not use <Ctrl><Alt><Del> to reboot your computer. Instead, press and

hold the power button for approximately 4 seconds to shut down the com-

puter. Then press the power button again to turn on the computer. When

prompted, select Safe Recovery Mode to continue the setup.

Initial setup of the Windows Me operating system takes approximately 5 minutes to

complete. Additional setup time may be required, depending on your system's inter-

nal and external devices.
