Your system has an ATI Rage II C baseline accelerated graphics port (AGP) super video graphics array (SVGA) video controller. If your system came with a Dell-installed operating system, the video drivers for that operating system are installed on your hard-disk drive. For information on reinstalling video drivers, see “Using Drivers and Utilities” in your online System User’s Guide. For instructions on changing to a differ- ent video driver, see your operating system documentation.

Your system may have an integrated 10/100-megabit-per-second (Mbps) 3Com PCI 3C905B-TX Ethernet NIC. The NIC provides all the functions of a separate network expansion card and supports both the 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet standards.

The NIC includes a Wakeup On LAN feature that enables the computer to be started up by a special LAN signal from a server management console. Wakeup On LAN pro- vides remote computer setup, software downloading and installation, file updates, and asset tracking after hours and on weekends when local area network (LAN) traffic is typically at a minimum.

The NIC connector on the computer’s back panel has the following indicators (see Figure 4-1):

A yellow activity indicator flashes when the system is transmitting or receiving network data. (A high volume of network traffic may make this indicator appear to be in a steady “on” state.)
