Network device drivers for several network operating systems. These drivers are
described in Chapter 4, "Using Integrated Devices."
Desktop Management Interface (DMI) support, which enables the management
of your computer system's software and hardware. DMI defines the software,
interfaces, and data files that enable your system to determine and report infor-
mation about system components.
If your system has a Dell-installed Microsoft Windows 95 operating system, DMI
is already installed on your system's hard-disk drive. To learn more about DMI,
double-click the DMI icon in the Windows Control Panel.
If your system included Dell-installed software, Dell provides a menu that allows
you to make program diskette sets of your Dell-installed software (programs,
drivers, and utilities; a CD-ROM with your operating system accompanied your
computer). A program diskette set is an uninstalled version of a software package
that you can use to reinstall or reconfigure the software. You can use this same
menu to remove diskette image files (individual files that correspond to each dis-
kette in a program diskette set) to reclaim space on the computer's hard-disk
drive. For more information on making program diskette sets, see the online help
provided in the Dell Program Diskette Maker, which is located in the Dell Acces-
sories folder.
The Dell OpenManage™ program, which is a DMI browser that allows you to
view your computer's current hardware configuration and operating system ver-
sion. The Dell Inspector provides information you may need if you call Dell for
technical assistance or if you install hardware or software in your system. The
Dell Inspector program is located in the Dell Accessories folder. For more infor-
mation on the Dell Inspector program, see the next subsection, "Manageability
Features."
Your Dell OptiPlex GX1 or GX1p Managed PC system incorporates many hardware
and software features to improve the manageability of the system. Installed features
include:

Dell OpenManage program

®
LANDesk Service Agent Support

Wakeup On LAN

Auto Power On

Security Features

The Dell OpenManage program is the Dell software-management application inter-
face for DMI. It allows you to manage system-level information, such as system
configuration information and management information format (MIF) database values
(see Figure 1-1).
