Chapter 2, “Using the System Setup Program,” or
your online
System User’s Guide.
•
Advanced power management options that can
reduce the energy consumption of your system. For
more information, see Chapter 2, “Using the System
Setup Program,” or your online
System User’s
Guide .
•
The ICU, which tells you how to configure non-Plug
and Play expansion cards manually. After resources
have been assigned to these cards, the system BIOS
can assign resources to PCI and Plug and Play
expansion cards for a conflict-free configuration. For
more information, see Chapter 3, “Using the ISA
Configuration Utility,” or your online
System User’s
Guide .
•
Dell diagnostics for evaluating the computer’s com-
ponents and devices. For information on using the
diagnostics, see the chapter titled “Running the
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 GX
i systems (which include the NIC) and
are described in Chapter 4, “Using Integrated
Devices.”
•
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 Win-
dows 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 Control 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 soft-
ware 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 diskette 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 Floor Stand
Included with your system is a floor stand that you can
attach to the computer to give it a mini tower (vertical)
orientation. Although you can attach (and remove) the
floor stand at any time with a minimum of system disrup-
tion, 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
the captive thumbscrew in the stand with the screw
hole in the cover.
