Creating Disk Partitions for Windows NT 4.0

After you have completed the setup procedure for the Dell-installed Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 operating system, you can perform the following procedure to create disk partitions on your large-capacity hard-disk drive(s):

1.Click the Start button, point to Programs, and click Administrative Tools.

2.Click Disk Administrator.

Follow the instructions in the Disk Administrator utility to partition and format your drives.

Front Panel

The computer's front panel contains the following indicators and controls (see Figure 1-1):

The power button provides control of the system's alternating current (AC) input power. The push-button switch operates as follows:

-When the computer is turned off, pressing the button turns the computer on.

-When the computer is turned on, pressing the button turns the computer off. However, a low-voltage (standby) current is maintained by the power supply. To completely remove all power from the system, unplug the AC power cable from its source.

For systems running Microsoft Windows NT with the Dell AutoShutdown service operational, pressing the power button causes the system to perform an orderly operating system shutdown before turning off. (For more information, see "Dell AutoShutdown Service".

NOTE: A Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) monitor does not begin warming up until the computer to which it is attached is turned on. Thus, some DPMS monitors may not display a video image until several seconds after you turn on the computer.

The power indicator light is green during normal system operation and amber when the computer is in sleep mode. The hard-disk drive access indicator lights up when a hard-disk drive is in use. (Drive access indicators for diskette drives and tape drives are located on the front of the drives.)

The reset button reboots (restarts) the system without your having to turn the power off and then on again. Rebooting the system in this manner reduces stress on system components.

Back Panel

The computer's back panel contains various ports and connectors for attaching external devices and includes a security cable slot. These features are described in the following subsections.

For information about enabling, disabling, or configuring input/output (I/O) ports and connectors, see "Using the System
