In addition to information provided in this manual and in the User’s Guide that came with the system, Dell provides the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for troubleshooting procedures and instructions on using the Dell Diagnostics to test the computer system.
  • Page 9 The systems can be either freestanding or rack-mounted. A PowerEdge 4300 system can contain one or two Pentium II microproces- sors. Each processor is housed in a single-edge contact (SEC) cartridge/heat sink assembly mounted in a guide bracket on the system board, allowing for greater heat dissipation.
