Attention: Year 2000
Despite a system's ability to pass the YMARK2000 test, actual rollover results in specific operating environ- ments may vary depending on other factors including, but not limited to, other hardware, operating systems, and applications software.
Previous Products
For Dell-branded hardware products shipped prior to January 1, 1997, that have an upgradable basic input/output system (BIOS), Dell makes available a BIOS upgrade. Although these products may not have been tested under the YMARK2000 test, Dell believes that the hardware would pass the YMARK2000 test, provided the appropriate BIOS upgrade is properly loaded.
For Dell-branded hardware products that do not have an upgradable BIOS, Dell has made available, as a convenience to customers, the Dell Program Patch, a software utility designed to assist custom- ers in managing the year 2000 rollover.
Software
Dell specifically excludes all non-Dell-developed software from this compliance statement. All soft- ware run on Dell-branded hardware products should be independently verified by customers to be year 2000-compliant.
The factory-installed software on your system is the current version provided by the software manu- facturer and is validated by Dell for installation. Dell recommends that you check each software manufacturer’s year 2000 Web site for updates to their products. Links to a number of these Web sites can be found at the Dell year 2000 Web sites.
