NOTICE: Be careful when opening the computer cover to ensure that you do not inadvertently disconnect cables from the system board.


System Board Connectors and Sockets


System Board Configuration Jumper

The following table describes the configuration jumper settings. The configuration jumper is located on the system board.

NOTICE: Entering Maintenance mode returns all settings in the system setup settings to their defaults. Dell strongly recommends that you record or print all current settings before entering this mode so that you can correct them when the computer is reset to Normal mode.

Jumper Setting

Jumper

Description

Pins 1-2 jumpered 

(Normal mode)

In Normal mode, system setup settings and installed passwords are retained when the computer starts up. In this mode, an automatic recovery is attempted if the BIOS detects that any of its main blocks are corrupted.

Pins 2-3 jumpered

(Maintenance mode)

Starting the computer with the jumper set in Maintenance mode automatically starts the system setup program, adds the Maintenance option to the menu bar, and displays the Maintenance screen. This screen provides the following option.

Clear All Passwords — Disables a forgotten password so that you can access the computer and/or assign new passwords. For the complete password procedure, see "Clearing Forgotten Passwords" in the appendix of the Solutions Guide


Socketed Microprocessor

The socketed microprocessor, shown above with the heat sink attached, contains a 370-pin microprocessor chip. The microprocessor includes the following features:

  • An Intel® microprocessor:

    • Intel Pentium® III microprocessor with integrated 32-KB primary (L1) cache with secondary (L2) cache of 256-KB Advanced Transfer Cache that resides in the processor's core and runs at the processor's internal clock speed, or

    • Intel Celeron® microprocessor with integrated 32-KB primary (L1) cache with secondary (L2) cache of 128-KB SRAM that resides in the processor's core and runs at the processor's internal clock speed

  • Associated circuitry

The socketed microprocessor inserts into the ZIF connector mounted on the system board. A clip secures the heat sink to the connector.


Power Supply

The 200-W power supply can operate from an AC power source of 115 VAC at 60 Hz or 230 VAC at 50 Hz. The power supply provides the DC operating voltages and currents listed in the following table.

When the current load is outside of the ranges listed, but within each specified output current range, the +5-V, +12-V, and +3.3-V outputs are allowed to regulate at +/–10% of nominal DC voltages.

1Maximum continuous total DC output cannot exceed 200 W. Maximum
continuous combined load on +5-VDC and +3.3-VDC outputs cannot
exceed 135 W.

2Peak +12-VDC output power (up to 12 A) does not exceed 15 seconds in
duration. In this condition, the tolerance on the +12-V output is allowed to
be +/–10%.

3In system applications where +3.3 VDC is not used, these values may be 0A
without affecting the regulation on the other outputs.

4The required full load combinations are adjusted such that the total output
power is less than or equal to 200 W.
