Warranty, Return Policy, and Year 2000 Statement of Compliance
C-5
Previous Products
For Dell-branded hardware products shipped prior to January 1, 1997, that have an
upgradable basic input/output system (BIOS), Dell makes available a BIOS
upgrade. Although these products may not have been tested under the
YMARK2000 test, Dell believes that the hardware would pass the YMARK2000
test, provided the appropriate BIOS upgrade is properly loaded.
For Dell-branded hardware products that do not have an upgradable BIOS, Dell has
made available, as a convenience to customers, the Dell Program Patch, a software
utility designed to assist customers in managing the year 2000 rollover.
Software
Dell specifically excludes all non-Dell-developed software from this compliance
statement. All software run on Dell-branded hardware products should be
independently verified by customers to be year 2000-compliant.
Additional Information
For additional information on year 2000 compliance of Dell-branded hardware
products, refer to Dell's Year 2000 Web site at www.dell.com/year2000 or contact
a Dell customer service representative in your area.
