‡A modular computer chassis with a minimum number of screws for easy dis- assembly and improved serviceability.

‡A high-speed, high-resolution AGP video card. (Documentation from the video card manufacturer is included with the system.) AGP greatly improves graphics performance by providing a dedicated bus for a faster interface between the video subsystem and system memory. AGP also allows conventional memory to be used for video-related tasks.

The system board includes the following integrated features:

‡Three 32-bit PCI expansion slots, including one that is a shared PCI (32-bit)/ISA (16-bit) expansion slot.

‡One AGP expansion slot.

‡A diskette drive interface, which supports a 3.5-inch diskette drive.

‡Two ATA-33 channels that support up to four EIDE devices. The primary and secondary channels utilize the PCI bus to provide faster data throughput. The primary channel supports up to two extremely high-capacity EIDE drives, the sec- ondary channel supports up to two devices such as EIDE CD-ROM drives.

‡Two high-performance serial ports and one bidirectional parallel port for connect- ing external devices.

‡A Personal System/2 (PS/2)-style keyboard port and a PS/2-compatible mouse port.

‡An integrated 10/100-megabit-per-second (Mbps) 3Com® PCI 3C905B-TX Ether- net network interface controller (NIC) with Wakeup On LAN support. The NIC is configured using software described in Chapter 5, “Using the Network Interface Controller.”

The following software is included with your Dell computer system:

‡Utilities that safeguard the system and enhance the operation of its hardware features; for example, the AutoShutdown service lets you perform an orderly shutdown with a single touch of the power button. For more information on these utilities, see Chapter 2, “Using the Software Support Utilities.”

‡Video drivers for the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Microsoft Windows 95, or Microsoft Windows 98 operating system.
