Drivers
What Is a Driver?
A driver is a program that controls a device such as a printer, mouse, or
keyboard. All devices require a driver program.
A driver acts like a translator between the device and the programs that use
the device. Each device has its own set of specialized commands that only
its driver recognizes.
Dell ships your computer to you with required drivers already installed—no
further installation or configuration is needed.
NOTICE: The Drivers and Utilities CD may contain drivers for operating
systems that are not on your computer. Ensure that you are installing software
appropriate for your operating system.
Many drivers, such as the keyboard driver, come with your Microsoft®
Windows® operating system. You may need to install drivers if you:
•
Upgrade your operating system.
•
Reinstall your operating system.
•
Connect or install a new device.
Identifying Drivers
If you experience a problem with any device, identify whether the driver is
the source of your problem and, if necessary, update the driver.
Click the Start button and click Control Panel.
Under Pick a Category, click Performance and Maintenance.
Click System.
In the System Properties window, click the Hardware tab.
Click Device Manager.
Scroll down the list to see if any device has an exclamation point (a
yellow circle with a [!]) on the device icon.
If an exclamation point is next to the device name, you may need to
reinstall the driver or install a new driver.

Reinstalling Drivers and Utilities
NOTICE: The Dell Support website at support.dell.com and your Drivers and
Utilities CD provide approved drivers for Dell™ computers. If you install
drivers obtained from other sources, your computer might not work correctly.
Using Windows XP Device Driver Rollback
If a problem occurs on your computer after you install or update a driver,
use Windows XP Device Driver Rollback to replace the driver with the
previously installed version.
Click the Start button and click Control Panel.
Under Pick a Category, click Performance and Maintenance.
Click System.
In the System Properties window, click the Hardware tab.
Click Device Manager.
Right-click the device for which the new driver was installed and click
Properties.
Click the Drivers tab.
Click Roll Back Driver.
If Device Driver Rollback does not resolve the problem, then use System
Restore (see "Using System Restore" on page 100) to return your computer
to the operating state that existed before you installed the new driver.
Using the Drivers and Utilities CD
If using Device Driver Rollback or System Restore (see "Using System
Restore" on page 100) does not resolve the problem, then reinstall the driver
from the Drivers and Utilities CD:
Save and close any open files, and exit any open programs.
Insert the Drivers and Utilities CD.
In most cases, the CD starts running automatically. If it does not, start
Windows Explorer, click your CD drive directory to display the CD
contents, and then double-click the autocd.exe file. The first time that
you run the CD, it might prompt you to install setup files. Click OK,

Reinstalling Microsoft® Windows® XP
Before You Reinstall
If you are considering reinstalling the Windows XP operating system to
correct a problem with a newly installed driver, first try using Windows XP
Device Driver Rollback (see "Using Windows XP Device Driver Rollback"
on page 98). If Device Driver Rollback does not resolve the problem, then
use System Restore (see "Using System Restore" on page 100) to return your
operating system to the operating state it was in before you installed the
new device driver.
Reinstalling Windows XP
To reinstall Windows XP, perform all the steps in the following sections in
the order in which they are listed.
The reinstallation process can take 1 to 2 hours to complete. After you
reinstall the operating system, you must also reinstall the device drivers,
virus protection program, and other software.
NOTICE: The Operating System CD provides options for reinstalling
Windows XP. The options can overwrite files and possibly affect programs
installed on your hard drive. Therefore, do not reinstall Windows XP unless
instructed to do so by a Dell technical support representative.
NOTICE: To prevent conflicts with Windows XP, disable any virus protection
software installed on your computer before you reinstall Windows XP. See the
documentation that came with the software for instructions.
Booting From the Operating System CD
Save and close any open files and exit any open programs.
Insert the Operating System CD. If any program starts automatically,
exit the program before proceeding.
Shut down the computer through the Start menu (see "Turning Off
Your Computer" on page 43) and restart the computer.

Changing the Boot Sequence
The boot sequence, or boot order, tells the computer where to look to find
the software needed to start the operating system. You can control the boot
sequence using the Boot Order page of the system setup program. The
Boot Order page displays a general list of the bootable devices that may be
installed in your computer, including but not limited to the following:
•
Diskette Drive
•
Modular bay HDD
•
Internal HDD
•
CD/DVD/CD-RW drive
During the boot routine, the computer starts at the top of the list and scans
each enabled device for the operating system start-up files. When the
computer finds the files, it stops searching and starts the operating system.
To control the boot devices, select (highlight) a device by pressing the
or
key, and then enable or disable the device or change its
order in the list.
•
To enable or disable a device, highlight the item and press
. Enabled items appear as white and display a small
triangle to their left; disabled items appear blue or dimmed without a
triangle.
•
To reorder a device in the list, highlight the device and then press
or
or down.
(not case-sensitive) to move the highlighted device up
Boot sequence changes take effect as soon as you save the changes and exit
the system setup program.

Performing a One-Time Boot
You can set a one-time-only boot sequence without entering the system
setup program. (You can also use this procedure to boot the Dell
Diagnostics on the diagnostics utility partition on your hard drive.)
Shut down the computer.
Connect the computer to an electrical outlet.
Turn on the computer. When the DELL logo appears, press
immediately. If you wait too long and the Windows logo appears,
continue to wait until you see the Windows desktop. Then shut down
your computer and try again.
When the boot device list appears, highlight the device from which
you want to boot and press
The computer boots to the selected device.
The next time you reboot the computer, the normal boot order is restored.
Changing Printer Modes
Set the Parallel Mode option according to the type of printer or device
connected to the parallel connector. To determine the correct mode to use,
see the documentation that came with the device.
Setting Parallel Mode to Disabled disables the parallel port and the port’s
LPT address, freeing its interrupt for another device to use.
Changing COM Ports
Serial Port allows you to map the serial port COM address or disable the
serial port and its address, freeing its interrupt for another device to use.
Enabling the Infrared Sensor
Enter the system setup program:
Turn on your computer.
Press
when the DELL logo appears.

communicate with your computer, turn off the computer and repeat
steps 1 through 5 to change the setting to Slow IR.
Press
to save the changes and exit the system setup program.
If you are prompted to restart your computer, click Yes.
NOTE: If the infrared
device cannot
communicate with your
computer after you repeat
steps 1 through 5 to
change the system setup
program setting to Slow
IR, contact the infrared
device manufacturer.
128
Appendix

Regulatory Notices
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in
free space or conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the
functioning of a radio navigation or other safety service or seriously
degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a licensed radio
communications service. Radio communications services include but are
not limited to AM/FM commercial broadcast, television, cellular services,
radar, air-traffic control, pager, and Personal Communication Services
(PCS). These licensed services, along with unintentional radiators such as
digital devices, including computers, contribute to the electromagnetic
environment.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of items of electronic
equipment to function properly together in the electronic environment.
While this computer has been designed and determined to be compliant
with regulatory agency limits for EMI, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause interference with radio communications services, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•
Reorient the receiving antenna.
•
Relocate the computer with respect to the receiver.
•
Move the computer away from the receiver.
•
Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the computer and the
receiver are on different branch circuits.
If necessary, consult a Dell Technical Support representative or an
experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.
For additional regulatory information, see the Tell Me How help file that
accompanied your computer. To access the help file, see "Accessing Help"
on page 88.

Limited Warranties and Return Policy
Dell-branded hardware products purchased in the U.S. or Canada come with either a 90-day
(U.S. only), one-year, two-year, three-year, or four-year limited warranty. To determine which
warranty you purchased, see the invoice that accompanied your hardware product(s). The
following sections describe the limited warranties and return policy for the U.S., the limited
warranties and return policy for Canada, and the manufacturer guarantee for Latin America
and the Caribbean.
Limited Warranty for the U.S.
What is covered by this limited warranty?
This limited warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship in your—our end-user
customer's—Dell-branded hardware products, including Dell-branded peripheral products.
What is not covered by this limited warranty?
This limited warranty does not cover:
•
Software, including the operating system and software added to the Dell-branded
hardware products through our factory-integration system, third-party software, or the
reloading of software
•
Non-Dell-branded products and accessories
•
Problems that result from:
–
External causes such as accident, abuse, misuse, or problems with electrical power
–
Servicing not authorized by us
–
Usage that is not in accordance with product instructions
–
Failure to follow the product instructions or failure to perform preventive
maintenance
–
Problems caused by using accessories, parts, or components not supplied by us
•
Products with missing or altered service tags or serial numbers
•
Products for which we have not received payment
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO
HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE (OR JURISDICTION
TO JURISDICTION). DELL'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR MALFUNCITONS AND
DEFECTS IN HARDWARE IS LIMITED TO REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT AS SET
FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT. ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED
WARRANTIES FOR THE PRODUCT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN TIME TO THE TERM
OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD REFLECTED ON YOUR INVOICE. NO
WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WILL APPLY AFTER THE
LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD HAS EXPIRED. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW
LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THIS
LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY BEYOND THE REMEDIES PROVIDED FOR IN
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL
DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LIABILTY FOR THIRD
PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES, FOR PRODUCTS NOT BEING
AVAILABLE FOR USE, OR FOR LOST DATA OR LOST SOFTWARE. OUR LIABILITY
WILL BE NO MORE THAN THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE PRODUCT THAT IS
THE SUBJECT OF A CLAIM. THIS IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT FOR WHICH WE
ARE RESPONSIBLE.
SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR
EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
How long does this limited warranty last?
This limited warranty lasts for the time period indicated on your invoice, except that the
limited warranty on Dell-branded batteries lasts only one year and the limited warranty on the
lamps for Dell-branded projectors lasts only ninety days. The limited warranty begins on the
date of the invoice. The warranty period is not extended if we repair or replace a warranted
product or any parts. Dell may change the availability of limited warranties, at its discretion,
but any changes will not be retroactive.
What do I do if I need warranty service?
Before the warranty expires, please call us at the relevant number listed in the following table.
Please also have your Dell service tag number or order number available.

What will Dell do?
During the first 90 days of the 90-day limited warranty and the first year of all other limited
warranties: For the first 90 days of the 90-day limited warranty and the first year of all other
limited warranties, we will repair any Dell-branded hardware products returned to us that prove
to be defective in materials or workmanship. If we are not able to repair the product, we will
replace it with a comparable product that is new or refurbished.
When you contact us, we will issue a Return Material Authorization Number for you to include
with your return. You must return the products to us in their original or equivalent packaging,
prepay shipping charges, and insure the shipment or accept the risk if the product is lost or
damaged in shipment. We will return the repaired or replacement products to you. We will pay
to ship the repaired or replaced products to you if you use an address in the United States
(excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the
product to you freight collect.
If we determine that the product is not covered under this warranty, we will notify you and
inform you of service alternatives that are available to you on a fee basis.
NOTE: Before you ship the product(s) to us, make sure to back up the data on the hard
drive(s) and any other storage device(s) in the product(s). Remove any confidential, proprietary,
or personal information and removable media such as floppy disks, CDs, or PC Cards. We are
not responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary, or personal information; lost or
corrupted data; or damaged or lost removable media.
During the remaining years: For the remaining period of the limited warranty, we will replace
any defective part with new or refurbished parts, if we agree that it needs to be replaced. When
you contact us, we will require a valid credit card number at the time you request a
replacement part, but we will not charge you for the replacement part as long as you return the
original part to us within thirty days after we ship the replacement part to you. If we do not
receive the original part within thirty days, we will charge to your credit card the then-current
standard price for that part.
We will pay to ship the part to you if you use an address in the United States (excluding Puerto
Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the part freight collect. We
will also include a prepaid shipping container with each replacement part for your use in
returning the replaced part to us.
NOTE: Before you replace parts, make sure to back up the data on the hard drive(s) and any
other storage device(s) in the product(s). We are not responsible for lost or corrupted data.
What if I purchased a service contract?
If your on-site service contract is with Dell, on-site service will be provided to you under the
terms of the on-site service agreement. Please refer to that contract for details on how to obtain
service.
If you purchased through us a service contract with one of our third-party service providers,
please refer to that contract for details on how to obtain service.

How will you fix my product?
We use new and refurbished parts made by various manufacturers in performing warranty
repairs and in building replacement parts and systems. Refurbished parts and systems are parts
or systems that have been returned to Dell, some of which were never used by a customer. All
parts and systems are inspected and tested for quality. Replacement parts and systems are
covered for the remaining period of the limited warranty for the product you bought.
What do I do if I am not satisfied?
We pride ourselves on our great customer service. If you are not satisfied with the service you
receive under this limited warranty, please let us know. We have found that the best way to
resolve issues regarding our limited warranty is to work together. If, after those discussions, you
are still not satisfied, we believe arbitration is the most expeditious way to resolve your
concerns. Therefore, ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN
CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PREEXISTING, PRESENT, OR
FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT,
AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) AGAINST DELL arising from or relating to this limited
warranty, its interpretation, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, the relationships
which result from this limited warranty (including, to the full extent permitted by applicable
law, relationships with third parties), Dell's advertising, or any related purchase SHALL BE
RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION
ADMINISTERED BY THE NATIONAL ARBITRATION FORUM (NAF) under its Code
of Procedure then in effect (available via the Internet at www.arb-forum.com/ or via telephone
at 1-800-474-2371). The arbitration will be limited solely to the dispute or controversy between

"Total Satisfaction" Return Policy (U.S. Only)
We value our relationship with you and want to make sure that you're satisfied with your
purchases. That's why we offer a "Total Satisfaction" return policy for most products that you—
the end-user customer—purchase directly from Dell. Under this policy, you may return to Dell
products that you purchased directly from Dell for a credit or a refund of the purchase price
paid, less shipping and handling and applicable restocking fees as follows:
•
New Hardware Products and Accessories — All new hardware, accessories, parts, and
unopened software still in its sealed package, excluding the products listed below, may
be returned within thirty days from the invoice date. To return applications software or
an operating system that has been installed by Dell, you must return the entire
computer. A different return policy applies to nondefective products purchased through
Dell's Software and Peripherals division by customers of our Small and Medium Business
divisions. Those products may be returned within thirty days from the invoice date, but
a fifteen percent (15%) restocking fee will be deducted from any refund or credit. The
"Total Satisfaction" Return Policy and Software and Peripherals division return policy are
not available for Dell | EMC storage products, EMC-branded products, or enterprise
software.
•
Reconditioned or Refurbished Dell-Branded Hardware Products and Parts — All
reconditioned or refurbished Dell-branded server and storage products may be returned
within thirty days from the invoice date. All other reconditioned or refurbished Dellbranded hardware products and parts may be returned within fourteen days of the
invoice date.
To return products, e-mail or call Dell customer service to receive a Credit Return
Authorization Number within the return policy period applicable to the product you want to
return. You must obtain a Credit Return Authorization Number in order to return the product.
See "Contacting Dell" on page 129 (or www.dell.com/us/en/gen/contact.htm) to find the
appropriate contact information for obtaining customer assistance.
You must ship the products to Dell within five days of the date that Dell issues the Credit
Return Authorization Number. You must also return the products to Dell in their original
packaging, in as-new condition along with any media, documentation, and all other items that
were included in the original shipment, prepay shipping charges, and insure the shipment or
accept the risk of loss or damage during shipment.

(3) this Intel warranty card;
(4) a description of the computer system including the brand and model; and
(5) an explanation of the problem.
[Note: The Customer Service Representative may need additional information from you depending on the nature of the problem.]
The replacement processor is warranted under this written warranty and is subject to the same limitations and exclusions for the remainder of the original warranty period or one
(1) year, whichever is longer.
WARRANTY LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS
THESE WARRANTIES REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. INTEL MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES BEYOND THOSE STATED HERE. INTEL
DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY

Intel Pentium® and Celeron® Processors are backed by a three-year limited warranty.
Please refer to the reverse side of this card for complete warranty details.
Intel’s Commitment to Quality
Intel is committed to producing the highest quality processors available. That’s why we have hundreds of people dedicated to continuously improve our design, manufacturing,
and testing technology.
We put every one of our Pentium® and Celeron® processors through a rigorous battery of tests during the design and manufacturing processes.
To verify that the new chip will correctly run the software written for Intel Architecture processors, a team of Intel engineers is dedicated to compatibility testing. In a state-of-art lab,
this group runs an extensive set of operating systems, applications, network tests and stress tests repeatedly to ensure that the processor is compatible with representative software.
Just as importantly, we work with hardware and software companies in the computer industry to ensure that our processors are compatible with their products.
Additionally, a sampling of Intel processors are subjected to a rigorous "burn-in" test whereby the chip is operated at higher-than-normal temperatures and voltages. During this
burn-in period, the processor experiences the equivalent of weeks of normal usage. These units are monitored for failures as part of our ongoing quality assurance process.
As a result, today’s microprocessors from Intel are among the most reliable components in computers.
What are ’Errata’?
Exhaustive product testing can highlight differences between the actual behavior of the microprocessor and its specifications. Sometimes the discrepancies are caused by a design
defect or error, which we call errata. Rigorous validation identifies most errata during the development of the processor, but we do detect additional errata during the life cycle of
a microprocessor.
When an erratum is identified, our engineers work to characterize it and find a solution. We work with system designers and software developers to ensure that the discrepancy does
not affect their products. If necessary, special software or hardware solutions (sometimes known as "work arounds") are implemented in the system design to prevent computer
users from encountering the problem. Errata may then be corrected in future revisions of the microprocessor.
No microprocessor is perfect, and Intel recognizes that some consumers want to know about any errata, whether or not the errata affect them. Intel makes documentation of all
characterized Pentium and Celeron processor errata publicly available through our Technical Documentation Service.
At Intel, our goal is to make every computer user satisfied with his or her Pentium or Celeron processor. Should you have any questions, comments or concerns about your Intel
microprocessor, please call us at 1-800-628-8686.
