Key combinations are series of keys to be pressed simultaneously (unless otherwise indicated) to perform a single function.
Example:

Commands presented in lowercase bold are for reference purposes only and are
not intended to be typed when referenced.
Example: “Use the format command to . . . .”
In contrast, commands presented in the Courier New font are part of an instruction and intended to be typed.
Example: “Type format a: to format the diskette in drive A.”

Filenames and directory names are presented in lowercase bold.
Examples: autoexec.bat and c:\windows

Syntax lines consist of a command and all its possible parameters. Commands
are displayed in lowercase bold; variable parameters (those for which you substitute a value) are displayed in lowercase italics; constant parameters are
displayed in lowercase bold. The brackets indicate items that are optional.
Example: del [drive:] [path] filename [/p]

Command lines consist of a command and may include one or more of the command’s possible parameters. Command lines are presented in the Courier New
font.
Example: del c:\myfile.doc

Screen text is text that appears on the screen of your monitor or display. It can be
a system message, for example, or it can be text that you are instructed to type
as part of a command (referred to as a command line). Screen text is presented
in the Courier New font.
Example: The following message appears on your screen:
No boot device available
Example: “Type md c:\programs and press .”

Variables are placeholders for which you substitute a value. They are presented in
italics.
Example: DIMM_x (where x represents the DIMM socket designation).

Windows NT ® and IBM ®OS/2 ®operating systems.

System memory that can be increased up to 256 megabytes (MB) by installing
16-, 32-, 64-, or 128-MB nonparity synchronous dynamic random-access memory
(SDRAM) dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) in the two DIMM sockets on
the system board. See “Adding Memory” in Chapter 6 for details.

Introduction

1-1

Self-Monitoring and Analysis Reporting Technology II (SMART II) support, which
warns you at system start-up if your hard-disk drive has become unreliable. To
take advantage of this technology, you must have a SMART II-compliant hard-disk
drive in your computer. All hard-disk drives shipped with the OptiPlex E1 system
are SMART II-compliant.
A basic input/output system (BIOS), which resides in flash memory and can be
upgraded by diskette, or remotely over a network, if required.
Full compliance with PCI Specification 2.1.
Full Plug and Play version 1.0a capability, which greatly simplifies the installation
of expansion cards. Plug and Play support included in the system BIOS allows
you to install Plug and Play expansion cards without setting jumpers or switches
or performing other configuration tasks. The ISA Configuration Utility (ICU) allows
you to configure existing non-Plug and Play ISA expansion cards for conflict-free
operation. Also, because the system BIOS is stored in flash memory, it can be
updated to support future enhancements to the Plug and Play standard.
Wakeup On LAN capability, which, when enabled in the System Setup program,
allows the system to be powered up from a server management console.
Wakeup On LAN capability also allows remote computer setup, software downloading and installation, file updates, and asset tracking after hours and on
weekends when network traffic is at a minimum. For more information, refer to
Chapter 2, “Using the System Setup Program.”
Universal Serial Bus (USB) capability, which can simplify connecting peripheral
devices such as mice, printers, and computer speakers. The USB connectors on
your computer’s back panel, which are enabled by default, provide a single
connection point for multiple USB-compliant devices. USB-compliant devices can
also be connected and disconnected while the system is running.
A modular computer chassis with a minimum number of screws for easy disassembly and improved serviceability.

+DUGZDUH)HDWXUHV
The system board includes the following features:

Four expansion slots on a riser board: two 32-bit PCI expansion slots, and two
16-bit ISA expansion slots.
A 64-bit baseline accelerated graphics port (AGP) video subsystem, which includes
the ATI Rage II C super video graphics array (SVGA) video controller. This video
subsystem contains 2 MB (upgradable to 4 MB) of synchronous graphics randomaccess memory (SGRAM) video memory. Maximum resolutions are 1600 x 1200
with 256 colors noninterlaced and 1280 x 1024 with 65,536 colors noninterlaced.
In 1024 x 768, 800 x 600, and 640 x 480 resolutions, 16.7 million colors are available for true-color graphics using a 32-bits per pixel (bpp) format. True-color
provides higher performance, but it uses more graphics memory. Table 1-1 displays the video memory requirements for the Microsoft Windows® 95 and
Windows NT 4.0 operating systems.

NOTE: These resolutions and refresh rates may not be available on all monitors.

AGP provides a dedicated bus from the video subsystem to the system chip set.
AGP-based video subsystems have two significant performance advantages over
PCI-based video subsystems:

—

The AGP bus reduces bandwidth requirements of the PCI bus, improving
overall system performance.

—

The AGP bus allows a video subsystem to execute directly from main
memory.

A diskette/tape drive interface, which supports a 3.5-inch diskette drive and,
optionally, a second diskette drive or tape drive.
Enhanced integrated drive electronics (EIDE) support. The primary and secondary
interface are both located on the PCI bus to provide faster data throughput. Each
interface supports high-capacity EIDE drives, as well as devices such as
advanced technology attachment (ATA) 33 hard-disk drives, EIDE CD-ROM drives,
and EIDE tape drives.
Two high-performance serial ports and one bidirectional parallel port for connecting external devices. The parallel port is fully Enhanced Capabilities Port (ECP)
compliant.
A Personal System/2 (PS/2)-style keyboard port and a PS/2-compatible mouse
port.

Network device drivers for several network operating systems. These drivers 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 system components.
If your system has a Dell-installed Windows 95 operating system, DMI is already
installed on your system’s hard-disk drive. To learn more about DMI, double-click
the DMI icon in the Windows Control Panel.
If your system included Dell-installed software, Dell provides a menu that allows
you to make program diskette sets of your Dell-installed software (programs,
drivers, and utilities; a CD with your operating system accompanied your computer). 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 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 provided
in the Dell Program Diskette Maker, which is located in the Dell Accessories folder.

The Dell OpenManage™ program, which is a DMI browser that allows you to
view your computer’s current hardware configuration and operating system version. The Dell OpenManage program provides information you may need if you
call Dell for technical assistance or if you install hardware or software in your system. The Dell OpenManage program is located in the Dell Accessories folder. For

Your system was configured by Dell to optimize the features of the Windows 95 operating system. To ensure that all of these features are maintained on your system, you
must use the version of Windows 95 that Dell installed on your hard-disk drive.
Should you need to reinstall Windows 95 on an OptiPlex E1 Mini Tower Managed PC
system for any reason, you must be sure to reinstall the correct version. Dell recommends performing a periodic tape backup of the system’s entire hard-disk drive so
that, if necessary, the operating system, drivers, and other software can be reinstalled
as originally configured with a minimum of downtime.
If you are unable to reinstall your software from a tape backup of the hard-disk drive,
you can reinstall Windows 95 from the system’s Windows 95 CD that you received
from Dell. However, if you reinstall Windows 95 in this manner, the bus-mastering
functionality of the Windows 95 EIDE driver, which was operative in your original
configuration, will be disabled. (Your system will operate without the bus-mastering
functionality with only a small degradation in performance. For information on the
advantages of using bus-mastering drivers, see “Bus-Mastering EIDE Drivers” in the

“Using Drivers and Utilities” section of your online System User’s Guide.) You may
also need to reinstall your system’s video and NIC drivers from the diskettes created
from the Dell-installed software on your system.

NOTE: If you are a system administrator of corporate networks and you must download Windows 95 from a server to client systems, make sure that you have the
Windows 95 backup media for the OptiPlex E1 Mini Tower Managed PC system on
your server before downloading.

If you set a serial port to Auto and add an expansion card containing a port configured
to the same designation, the system automatically remaps the built-in port to the next
available port designation that shares the same IRQ setting as follows:

COM1 (input/output [I/O] address 3F8h), which shares IRQ4 with COM3, is
remapped to COM3 (I/O address 3E8h).
Likewise, COM2 (I/O address 2F8h), which shares IRQ3 with COM4, is
remapped to COM4 (I/O address 2E8h).

NOTES: When two COM ports share an IRQ setting, you can use either port as necessary, but you may not be able to use them both at the same time. If the second
port (COM3 or COM4) is also in use, the built-in port is turned off.
If you are using the Microsoft Windows 95 or IBM OS/2 operating system, you cannot
use both serial ports at the same time.

For certain types of monitors and most EIDE hard-disk drives, you can reduce system
power consumption by enabling the power management feature. With Power
Management enabled, these monitors and drives automatically switch into low-power
mode during periods of system inactivity.
Power Management can be implemented at three levels—Maximum, Regular, and
Minimum. (The different levels apply to the monitor only; hard-disk drive operation is
the same for all three.) The default for this option is Disabled.
6DYLQJ 0RQLWRU 3RZHU

If you have a Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA®) Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS)-compliant monitor, enabling the Power Management
option reduces monitor power consumption during periods of keyboard and mouse
inactivity.

NOTE: The power management feature monitors activity of a mouse connected to the
PS/2-compatible mouse port.
By setting Power Management to Maximum, Regular, or Minimum, you can set predefined time-out periods (see Table 2-2) for the two successive monitor shutdown
stages, standby and off.

NOTE: Each monitor manufacturer defines the details of the shutdown stages for its
own monitors. But in all cases, power consumption decreases with each stage from
“on” (full power) to “standby” (reduced power; the display image usually disappears)
to “off” (where power consumption is minimal). To define these stages for your monitor, see the documentation that came with the monitor.
From either shutdown stage, you can return full power to the monitor in one of the following ways:

For most DPMS-compliant monitors, any subsequent activity—including moving
the mouse—should return full power to the monitor.
A few DPMS-compliant monitors require that you turn monitor power off and
then on again to return to full power.

Check your monitor documentation for information on how your monitor is designed
to operate.
6DYLQJ (,'( +DUG'LVN 'ULYH 3RZHU

For most systems, enabling Power Management at any level causes EIDE hard-disk
drives to switch to low-power mode after about 20 minutes of system inactivity (see
Table 2-2).

2-14

Dell OptiPlex E1 Mini Tower Managed PC Reference and Installation Guide

NOTES: All EIDE drives shipped with your system support this feature. (For more
information, see “ENERGY STAR Compliance” in Chapter 1.)
However, not all EIDE hard-disk drives support this feature. Enabling this feature for
drives that do not support it may cause the EIDE drive to become inoperable until the
computer is restarted and the Power Management option is disabled.
In low-power mode, the disks inside the drive stop spinning. They remain idle until the
next drive access, which causes them to start spinning again. (Because the disks take
a few seconds to regain full speed, you may notice a slight delay the next time you
access the hard-disk drive.)
When Power Management is set to Disabled (the default), the disks spin constantly as long as the system is turned on.

Dell recommends that you use the card manufacturer’s configuration utility to set the
card to legacy mode, enter the card’s resources through the manufacturer’s utility,
and then use the ICU to add the Plug and Play expansion card to your system configuration. On systems with a Dell-installed Windows NT operating system, the ICU is
installed on the hard-disk drive as a diskette image. Use the Dell Program Diskette
Maker (in the Dell Accessories folder) to make an ICU diskette from this diskette
image.
If you are using the Microsoft Windows 95 operating system, the functions provided
by the ICU are handled by the Device Manager, which can be accessed by doubleclicking the System icon in the Control Panel. See your Windows 95 documentation
for instructions on using the Device Manager to manage resources and resolve
conflicts.
The remainder of this chapter describes the various features of, and the various ways
to use, the ICU.

$ERXWWKH,&8
Before your system was shipped from Dell, a technician used the ICU to enter the
correct information for the expansion cards initially installed in your computer.
If your system was shipped with Dell-installed software, the ICU diskette image (from
which you can make an ICU diskette) is installed on your hard-disk drive. (Your system
may also be accompanied by an ISA Configuration Utility Diskette.)
The ICU is also available through online services such as Dell’s TechConnect bulletin
board service (BBS). See your online System User’s Guide or the chapter titled “Getting Help” in your Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide for information on
accessing the BBS.
Whenever you add or remove a non-Plug and Play ISA expansion card, use the ICU to
reconfigure your system. The utility reads the card’s corresponding configuration file
(.cfg file), which describes the card’s characteristics and required system resources.
After the resources identified in these configuration files are assigned to all non-Plug
and Play ISA expansion cards, the system assigns resources to all Plug and Play
expansion cards, as well as PCI expansion cards, thereby creating a conflict-free
configuration.

,&8'DWDEDVH
The ICU provides a database of configuration files for a large variety of non-Plug and
Play ISA expansion cards. The database is located in the \ db subdirectory. Listed cards
are non-Plug and Play ISA expansion cards that have configuration files stored in this
database.
Unlisted cards are non-Plug and Play ISA expansion cards that do not have configuration files stored in the ICU database. Unlisted cards are not displayed in the list of
cards provided for the various card options. The unlisted cards may be cards for which
no configuration file exists or new cards that include a manufacturer-supplied configuration file on diskette.
When you supply a configuration file and the ICU is running from the hard-disk drive,
the configuration file is copied to the directory that contains the rest of the ICU
database.

:KHQWR5XQWKH,&8
Whenever you add or remove non-Plug and Play ISA expansion cards, you must run
the ICU to ensure that no two cards attempt to use the same resources (such as
interrupt request [IRQ] lines).
Run the program before adding or removing any non-Plug and Play ISA expansion
cards. The ICU can identify and resolve any resource conflicts and indicate the proper
jumper and switch settings for each expansion card to avoid such conflicts. Running
the program first helps you determine how to configure a non-Plug and Play ISA
expansion card before you install it in your computer.

Using the ISA Configuration Utility

3-3

After you have run the ICU for your non-Plug and Play ISA expansion cards and it has
configured all your Plug and Play and PCI expansion cards, you can use the utility to
lock the configuration of your Plug and Play and PCI expansion cards so that they are
always assigned the same resources. See your online System User’s Guide or “Locking and Unlocking Cards” found later in this chapter for details.

The ICU uses the default resources set by the card manufacturer whenever possible. If the ICU cannot find a resource that is valid for the card and available in
the system, the utility generates an error message. See Appendix B, “ISA Configuration Utility Messages,” for an explanation of the message and a possible
solution to the conflict.

Modifying a card allows you to change the system resources used by a card. This feature is helpful when you want to add a card that requires resources already in use by
other cards or devices in your computer. You can allocate different resources to the
cards currently in your computer to free the resources necessary for the card you
want to install.
You can also use this feature to force Plug and Play or PCI expansion cards to use specific resource values. This procedure is called locking a card. You should lock a card
only if it uses static device drivers. See “Locking and Unlocking Cards” found later in
this chapter for more information.

Using the ISA Configuration Utility

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 computer
systems, 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 system
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 Regulatory EMC representative of Dell Computer Corporation
or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. You may find
the FCC Interference Handbook, 1986, to be helpful. It is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock No. 004-000-00450-7 or on
the World Wide Web at http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Compliance/WWW/

Dell computer systems are designed, tested, and classified for their intended electromagnetic environment. These electromagnetic environment classifications generally
refer to the following harmonized definitions:

Class A is for business or industrial environments.
Class B is for residential environments.

Most Dell computer systems are classified for Class B environments. To determine
the electromagnetic classification for your system or device, refer to the following
sections specific for each regulatory agency. Each section provides country-specific
EMC/EMI or product safety information.

)&&1RWLFHV 862QO\
Most Dell computer systems are classified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as Class B digital devices. However, the inclusion of certain options can
change the rating of some configurations to Class A. To determine which classification
applies to your computer system, examine all FCC registration labels located on the
bottom or back panel of your computer, on card-mounting brackets, and on the cards
themselves. If any one of the labels carries a Class A rating, your entire system is considered to be a Class A digital device. If all labels carry either the Class B rating
distinguished by either an FCC ID number or the FCC logo, (
), your system is considered to be a Class B digital device.
Once you have determined your system’s FCC classification, read the appropriate
FCC notice. Note that FCC regulations provide that changes or modifications not
expressly approved by Dell Computer Corporation could void your authority to operate
this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.

Most Dell computer systems are classified by the Voluntary Control Council for Interference (VCCI) as Class B information technology equipment (ITE). However, the
inclusion of certain options can change the rating of some configurations to Class A.
ITE, including peripherals, expansion cards, printers, input/output (I/O) devices, monitors, and so on, integrated into or connected to the system, should match the
electromagnetic environment classification (Class A or B) of the computer system.
To determine which classification applies to your computer system, examine the regulatory labels/markings (see Figures C-1 and C-2) located on the bottom or back panel
of your computer. Once you have determined your system’s VCCI classification, read
the appropriate VCCI notice.

This is a Class A product based on the standard of the Voluntary Control Council for
Interference (VCCI) for information technology equipment. If this equipment is used in
a domestic environment, radio disturbance may arise. When such trouble occurs, the
user may be required to take corrective actions.

The equipment should draw power from a socket with an attached protection circuit (a
three-prong socket). All equipment that works together (computer, monitor, printer,
and so on) should have the same power supply source.
The phasing conductor of the room’s electrical installation should have a reserve
short-circuit protection device in the form of a fuse with a nominal value no larger than
16 amperes (A).
To completely switch off the equipment, the power supply cable must be removed
from the power supply socket, which should be located near the equipment and easily
accessible.
A protection mark “B” confirms that the equipment is in compliance with the protection usage requirements of standards PN-93/T-42107 and PN-89/E-06251.
