hassis Differences
The three OptiPlex GXa and the OptiPlex Net PC chassis configurations differ
primarily in the following expansion features:
•
Number of expansion slots available for PCI/ISA expansion cards
•
Number of available internal drive bays for EIDE/SCSI drives
•
Number of available external drive bays for diskette, CD-ROM, or tape
drives
•
Physical size and power supply types (the midsize and mini tower systems
use the same power supply)
NOTE: Computers with Enhanced Manageability support contain a different
system board, riser board and a power supply with a secondary winding that
provides trickle ("flea") power for the Wakeup On LAN feature when computer
power is turned off.
Due to the physical differences in the four chassis configurations, a separate
parts removal and replacement chapter (Chapters 4 through 7) is provided for
each chassis type.
