1-2 Dell Dimension Lxxxc Systems Reference and Troubleshooting Guide
The system board includes the following built-in features:
‡
Integrated Intel 810 video controller with Dynamic Video Memory and 4 MB of
video SDRAM.
‡
Four three-quarter–length 32-bit PCI expansion slots for connecting PCI devices
to the PCI bus.
‡
An integrated diskette drive interface that supports a single diskette drive without
the need for a controller card.
‡
Two enhanced integrated drive electronics (EIDE) interfaces on the PCI bus that
support Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA)-33/66 Ultra direct memory
access (DMA) hard-disk drives, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, Zip, and tape drives.
NOTE: Inconsistencies in the manufacturing of CD-ROM media may cause some
higher-speed CD-ROM drives to vibrate more than others. Such vibration and
associated noise does not indicate a defect in the drive or the CD.
‡
One serial port and one bidirectional parallel port for connecting external devices.
‡
For systems running Windows 98, the two high-performance Universal Serial Bus
(USB) ports provide a single connection point for multiple USB-compliant devices.
These devices can be connected and disconnected while the system is running.
NOTE: If you attach a USB device that was not included in your original system
configuration, you may need to install a specific driver for that device to obtain its
full functionality. Contact the USB device manufacturer for more information.
‡
A personal system/2 (PS/2)–style keyboard port and a PS/2-compatible mouse
port.
‡
For systems with integrated network capabilities, a 10/100–megabit-per-second
(Mbps) Intel Pro 82559 network interface controller (NIC) provides all the func-
tions of a separate network card with Wakeup on LAN technology. The NIC
supports both the 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet standards.
‡
For systems with integrated audio capabilities, a Creative Sound Blaster audio
PCI controller with 64-voice wavetable synthesis.
