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.)
