environmental concerns, as well as accommodating the guidelines expected in future envi- ronmental legislation in a variety of geographical locations.

Good environmental design affects many aspects of the design and manufacturing pro- cess, down to the level of which chemicals, coatings, and additives are allowed. However, this document addresses the aspects of Dell’s environmental program that should most interest you as a customer. This document applies to all Dell-branded equipment-primarily system units, monitors, and keyboards.

First, systems that comply with Dell’s environmental program incorporate the following features:

•

A modular, highly upgradable design that extends the useful life of the basic unit

Mechanical design that facilitates recycling and material disposal

A consistent and documented multilevel power consumption scheme that meets the need to significantly reduce energy consumption

Dell peripherals meet the requirements of Dell’s environmental program by offering the following features:

•

Mechanical design that facilitates speedy disassembly for recycling

Reduced variations in plastics, and plastics marked to internationally recognized stan- dards for correct identification and the appropriate recycling process.

Other areas of interest include the following programs:

•

The Green Away program, which provides for the disposition of obsolete or otherwise unwanted equipment

An approved disposal policy for used system batteries

A spare-parts provision in the Dell service agreement

These aspects of Dell’s environmental program are described in detail in the following sections.

Your Dell computer’s modular design allows you to keep the system up-to-date by adding or upgrading many system components. Instructions for installing the following compo- nents are included in your computer system’s user documentation:

•

The system microprocessor, system memory, and storage devices (hard-disk drives, diskette drives, tape drives, and CD-ROM drives) can be easily replaced or upgraded. (The microprocessor and the memory can be upgraded without using tools.)

Depending on your system’s chassis design and the options installed at initial ship- ment, a number of expansion slots are available to accommodate additional controller cards.

Also depending on your system, you may be able to upgrade your external cache and/ or video memory.

In addition to many of the components being replaceable by hand (that is, without tools), the chassis itself snaps together using primarily hooks and latches, with very few screws;
