Windows Label

This Microsoft® Windows label provides the product key for your copy of Windows. You will need this information if you ever reinstall Windows.

USB Connectors

HINT: If you attach a USB device that was not included in your original computer order, you may need to install a specific driver to make the device work. Check the documentation that came with the device or contact the USB device manufacturer for more information.

Although any USB device can be attached to either the front- or back-panel USB connectors, Dell recommends using the front-panel USB connectors for devices that you frequently connect and disconnect, such as USB digital cameras and gaming controllers. Use the back-panel USB connectors for devices that you rarely connect and disconnect, such as USB printers, scanners, mouse, and keyboards.

Headphone Jack

Use the headphone jack to attach headphones and most speakers for listening to all sounds in your computer including your CD player and system sounds such as beeps.

Service Tag

HINT: Express Service may not be available in some countries.

This label lists your computer's service tag and your Express Service Code (if applicable). If you call Dell technical support, use your Express Service Code to route the call directly to the correct support personnel. The Dell technical support staff will ask for your service tag.
