The Dell™ OptiPlex™ GX260 is a
highly scalable desktop, spanning
the needs of corporate and
institutional users in various
environments ranging from value to
performance. Where obsolescence
protection and optimal price
performance are critical, the GX260
offers the latest stable technologies
in highly serviceable chassis.
The GX260 is designed for those
users who have come to rely on the
stability and manageability of
OptiPlex desktops in order to
maintain low total cost of ownership.
Tomorrow's technologies today
The OptiPlex GX260 will allow organizations to get the full benefit of tomorrow's technologies today without
paying a high price. Large companies and institutions can transition to the next generation Intel® Pentium®
processors and utilize technologies such as Gigabit networking and USB 2.0, in order to support future com-
puting needs, protect their investment and help reduce the total cost of ownership.
Networking
The GX260 introduces Intel Gigabit networking
1
to the desktop. Gigabit provides improved networking per-
formance over 10/100 with increased network throughput. GX260 Gigabit networking optimizes the end users
flexibility and provides obsolescence protection. Gigabit is backwards compatible with 10/100 and can be
used with existing CAT-5 network cabling. Benefits include rapid recovery model for reduced down time,
faster backups enabling data-to-server backups and imaging over the network for greater IT productivity, all
helping to lower TCO.
As part of Gigabit networking, the GX260 will also incorporate a new standards based alerting feature, Alert
Standard Format (ASF). ASF is a new standard for OS absent alerting, replacing existing proprietary interfaces
with a single common alerting interface. Regardless of OS state, power off, sleep mode etc, notification of
error conditions can be provided to the IT administrator.
Scalability…
The GX260 is available in three chassis sizes and supports Celeron® and Intel Pentium 4 processors.
Regardless of chassis or processor, the GX260 can be easily deployed with a common software image in a
mix of legacy-full, reduced or legacy-free options with LegacySelect 2.0. GX260 can be configured with a
broad range of peripherals including multiple graphics cards, RMSD devices and up to 1GB memory.
Superior performance
GX260 offers Intel Pentium 4 processors with 400MHz and next generation 533MHz front side bus as well as
DDR SDRAM, maximizing bandwidth and helping improve overall system performance. In addition, the GX260
now supports USB 2.0 for external peripheral performance boost. New integrated Intel Extreme® Graphics
deliver excellent price/performance for basic computing with the option to configure with higher-end perform-
ance graphics cards.
Simplified desktop manageability…
OptiPlex continues to drive management standardization with CIM-based solutions that enable management of
a broader range of devices across the enterprise. OpenManage Client Instrumentation (OMCI) v7.0 now also
includes a 1:1 client management console.
Also new is OpenManage Client Administrator (OMCA) v1.0., a leveraged co-development in partnership with
Altiris. This is an optional integrated software management suite for remote image deployment, software
delivery and system migrations as well as inventory management.
