procedures. Control is provided to the administrator through System Setup,
Dell OpenManage™ IT Assistant, or Dell custom factory integration.
LegacySelect allows administrators to electronically activate or deactivate

media devices that are deactivated make resources available. You must restart
the computer to effect the changes.
