Diskette-Based Diagnostics” in the Diagnostics and
Troubleshooting Guide.
•
Network device drivers for several network operat-
ing systems. These drivers are supplied with Dell
OptiPlex Gs+ systems and are described in
Chapter 4, “Using the Network Interface
Controller.”
•
Desktop Management Interface (DMI) support,
which enables the management of your computer
system’s software and hardware. DMI defines the
software, interfaces, and data files that enable your
system to determine and report information about its
components.
If your system has a Dell-installed Microsoft
Windows
®
, Windows for Workgroups™, or
Windows NT operating system, DMI is already
installed on your system’s hard-disk drive. You can
enable DMI support or learn more about DMI by
double-clicking the DMI icon in the Windows Con-
trol Panel (located in the Main program group or
folder).
•
The Dell Inspector utility, which uses DMI support
to display detailed information about the hardware
and software configuration for your system. The
Dell Inspector utility provides information you may
need if you call Dell for technical assistance or if you
install hardware or software in your system. The
Dell Inspector utility is located in the Dell
Accessories program group or folder.
If you ordered Dell-installed software with your system,
such as MS-DOS
®
, Microsoft Windows, or other pro-
grams, Dell provides a menu that allows you to make
program diskette sets of your Dell-installed software. A
program diskette set is an uninstalled version of a software
package that you can use to reinstall or reconfigure the
software. You can use this same menu to remove diskette
image files (individual files that correspond to each dis-
kette in a program diskette set) to reclaim space on the
computer’s hard-disk drive. For more information on
making program diskette sets, see the online help pro-
vided in the Dell DiskMaker program, which is available
in the Dell Accessories program group or folder.

U
sing the Optional Floor Stand
An optional floor stand is available for your system that
you can attach to the computer to use it in a mini tower
(vertical) orientation. Although you can attach (and
remove) the floor stand at any time with a minimum of
system disruption, it is easiest to attach before you set up
your computer and connect the back panel cables.
Attach the floor stand as follows:
1.
Turn the computer onto its right side, so that the
drive bays are at the bottom.
2.
Fit the floor stand onto what was the left side of
the computer.
Position the floor stand as shown in Figure 1-1.
Align the large round hole in the floor stand with the
securing button on the side of the cover, and align
