About Your System
This section describes the physical, firmware, and software interface features
that provide and ensure the essential functioning of your system. The
physical connectors on your system’s front and back panels provide
convenient connectivity and system expansion capability. The system
firmware, applications, and operating systems monitor the system and
component status and alert you when a problem arises. System conditions
can be reported by any of the following:
• Front or back panel indicators
• System messages
• Warning messages
• Diagnostics messages
• Alert messages
This section describes each type of message, lists the possible causes, and
provides steps to resolve any problems indicated by a message. The system
indicators and features are illustrated in this section.
Other Information You May Need
CAUTION: The Product Information Guide provides important safety and
regulatory information. Warranty information may be included within this
document or as a separate document.
• The Rack Installation Guide or Rack Installation Instructions included
with your rack solution describes how to install your system into a rack.
• The Getting Started Guide provides an overview of system features,
setting up your system, and technical specifications.
• CDs included with your system provide documentation and tools for
configuring and managing your system.12 About Your System
• Systems management software documentation describes the features,
requirements, installation, and basic operation of the software.
• Operating system documentation describes how to install (if necessary),
configure, and use the operating system software.
• Documentation for any components you purchased separately provides
information to configure and install these options.
• Updates are sometimes included with the system to describe changes to
the system, software, and/or documentation.
NOTE: Always check for updates on support.dell.com and read the updates first
because they often supersede information in other documents.
• Release notes or readme files may be included to provide last-minute
updates to the system or documentation or advanced technical reference
material intended for experienced users or technicians.
Accessing System Features During Startup
Table 1-1 describes keystrokes that may be entered during startup to access
system features. If your operating system begins to load before you enter the
keystroke, allow the system to finish booting, and then restart your system
and try again.
Table 1-1. Keystrokes for Accessing System Functions
Keystroke Description
Option is displayed only if you have PXE support enabled through the
System Setup Program (see "Using the System Setup Program" on
page 41). This keystroke allows you to configure NIC settings for PXE
boot. For more information, see the documentation for your
integrated NIC.

button or by turning the system off and then back on.
B O O T A B L E D I S K E T T E — A diskette that is used to start your system if the system will
not boot from the hard drive.
BTU — British thermal unit.
B U S — An information pathway between the components of a system. Your system
contains an expansion bus that allows the processor to communicate with controllers
for the peripheral devices connected to the system. Your system also contains an
address bus and a data bus for communications between the processor and RAM.
C — Celsius.
C A C H E — A fast storage area that keeps a copy of data or instructions for quick data
retrieval. When a program makes a request to a disk drive for data that is in the cache,
the disk-cache utility can retrieve the data from RAM faster than from the disk drive.
CD — Compact disc. CD drives use optical technology to read data from CDs.
C M — Centimeter(s).
C M O S — Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor.
C O M P O N E N T — As they relate to DMI, components include operating systems,
computer systems, expansion cards, and peripherals that are compatible with DMI.
Each component is made up of groups and attributes that are defined as relevant to
that component.
COMN — The device names for the serial ports on your system.
C O N T R O L P A N E L — The part of the system that contains indicators and controls,
such as the power button and power indicator.
C O N T R O L L E R — A chip that controls the transfer of data between the processor and
memory or between the processor and a peripheral.
C O N V E N T I O N A L M E M O R Y — The first 640 KB of RAM. Conventional memory is
found in all systems. Unless they are specially designed, MS-DOS® programs are
limited to running in conventional memory.
C O P R O C E S S O R — A chip that relieves the system’s processor of specific processing
tasks. A math coprocessor, for example, handles numeric processing.
CPU — Central processing unit. See processor.
DC — Direct current.
DDR — Double-data rate. A technology in memory modules that potentially doubles Glossary 173
the output.
D E V I C E D R I V E R — A program that allows the operating system or some other
program to interface correctly with a peripheral. Some device drivers—such as network
drivers—must be loaded from the config.sys file or as memory-resident programs
(usually, from the autoexec.bat file). Others must load when you start the program for
which they were designed.
DHCP — Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A method of automatically
assigning an IP address to a client system.
D I A G N O S T I C S — A comprehensive set of tests for your system.
DIMM — Dual in-line memory module. See also memory module.
DIN — Deutsche Industrie Norm.
D I R E C T O R Y — Directories help keep related files organized on a disk in a hierarchical,
“inverted tree” structure. Each disk has a “root” directory. Additional directories that

Before Working Inside Your Computer
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer from potential
damage and to help to ensure your personal safety. Unless otherwise noted,
each procedure included in this document assumes that the following
conditions exist:
• You have performed the steps in Working on Your Computer.
• You have read the safety information that shipped with your computer.
• A component can be replaced or--if purchased separately--installed by
performing the removal procedure in reverse order.
WARNING: Before working inside your computer, read the safety information that
shipped with your computer. For additional safety best practices information, see
the Regulatory Compliance Homepage at www.dell.com/regulatory_compliance.
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You
should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your

by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the
product.
CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist
grounding strap or by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface, such as a
connector on the back of the computer.
CAUTION: Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components
or contacts on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket.
Hold a component such as a processor by its edges, not by its pins.
CAUTION: When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its pull-tab, not
on the cable itself. Some cables have connectors with locking tabs; if you are
disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before you disconnect
the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending
any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, ensure that both connectors
are correctly oriented and aligned.
