Video Controller - Dell OPTIPLEX E1 Reference And Installation Manual

1-2 Dell OptiPlex E1 Mini Tower Managed PC Reference and Installation Guide
‡
Self-Monitoring and Analysis Reporting Technology II (SMART II) support, which
warns you at system start-up if your hard-disk drive has become unreliable. To
take advantage of this technology, you must have a SMART II-compliant hard-disk
drive in your computer. All hard-disk drives shipped with the OptiPlex E1 system
are SMART II-compliant.
‡
A basic input/output system (BIOS), which resides in flash memory and can be
upgraded by diskette, or remotely over a network, if required.
‡
Full compliance with PCI Specification 2.1.
‡
Full Plug and Play version 1.0a capability, which greatly simplifies the installation
of expansion cards. Plug and Play support included in the system BIOS allows
you to install Plug and Play expansion cards without setting jumpers or switches
or performing other configuration tasks. The ISA Configuration Utility (ICU) allows
you to configure existing non-Plug and Play ISA expansion cards for conflict-free
operation. Also, because the system BIOS is stored in flash memory, it can be
updated to support future enhancements to the Plug and Play standard.
‡
Wakeup On LAN capability, which, when enabled in the System Setup program,
allows the system to be powered up from a server management console.
Wakeup On LAN capability also allows remote computer setup, software down-
loading and installation, file updates, and asset tracking after hours and on
weekends when network traffic is at a minimum. For more information, refer to
Chapter 2, "Using the System Setup Program."
‡
Universal Serial Bus (USB) capability, which can simplify connecting peripheral
devices such as mice, printers, and computer speakers. The USB connectors on
your computer's back panel, which are enabled by default, provide a single
connection point for multiple USB-compliant devices. USB-compliant devices can
also be connected and disconnected while the system is running.
‡
A modular computer chassis with a minimum number of screws for easy dis-
assembly and improved serviceability.

The system board includes the following features:
‡
Four expansion slots on a riser board: two 32-bit PCI expansion slots, and two
16-bit ISA expansion slots.
‡
A 64-bit baseline accelerated graphics port (AGP) video subsystem, which includes
the ATI Rage II C super video graphics array (SVGA) video controller. This video
subsystem contains 2 MB (upgradable to 4 MB) of synchronous graphics random-
access memory (SGRAM) video memory. Maximum resolutions are 1600 x 1200
with 256 colors noninterlaced and 1280 x 1024 with 65,536 colors noninterlaced.
In 1024 x 768, 800 x 600, and 640 x 480 resolutions, 16.7 million colors are avail-
able for true-color graphics using a 32-bits per pixel (bpp) format. True-color
provides higher performance, but it uses more graphics memory. Table 1-1 dis-
plays the video memory requirements for the Microsoft Windows
Windows NT 4.0 operating systems.
NOTE: These resolutions and refresh rates may not be available on all monitors.
