Marketing System Configurations NOTE: Offerings may vary by region. For more information regarding the configuration of your computer, click Operating System NOTE: One of the following Operating Systems will be preinstalled.
Processor NOTE: Global Standard Products (GSP) are a subset of Dell's relationship products that are managed for availability and synchronized transitions on a worldwide basis. They ensure the same platform is available for purchase globally. This allows customers to reduce the number of configurations managed on a worldwide basis, thereby reducing their costs. They also enable companies to implement global IT standards by locking in specific product configurations worldwide.
Advanced System Manageability Modes NOTE: Hardware management mode options allow you to select the right systems management feature support for your enterprise. Dell’s innovative approach to scalable remote client management offers you a choice of built-in hardware management capabilities across platform offerings. The latest generation of Intel® vPro™ technology provides the capability to manage your install base of systems regardless of the power state or hardware functionality of the system.
Memory Your computer supports a maximum of 16 GB of memory when you use four 4-GB DIMMs; however, 32-bit operating systems, such as the 32-bit version of Microsoft® Windows® XP, can only use a maximum of 4 GB of address space. Moreover, certain components within the computer require address space in the 4GB range. Any address space reserved for these components cannot be used by computer memory; therefore, the amount of memory available to the operating system is less than 4GB.

Chassis Enclosure & Ventilation Requirements Enclosure Ventilation through If your enclosure has doors, they need to be of a type that allows at least 30% airflow the enclosure (front and back). Enclosure Minimum Clearance airflow Leave a 10.2 cm (4 in.) minimum clearance on all vented sides of the computer to permit the required for proper ventilation. Recommended Enclosure airflow Do not install your computer in an enclosure that does not allow airflow.
