ther Documentation You May
Need
You may need to reference the following documentation

The Dell PowerEdge 4100/180 and 4100/200 Sys-
tems User’s Guide, which describes system features

You may also have one or more of the following

Operating system documentation is included with
the system if you ordered the operating system soft-
ware from Dell. This documentation describes how
to install (if necessary), configure, and use the oper-
ating system software.
Documentation is included with any options you
purchase separately from the system, such as the
Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller SCSI
host adapter. This documentation includes informa-
tion that you need to configure and install these
options in the Dell computer. Installation instruc-
tions for the options are included in the system
documentation.
Technical information files—sometimes called
“readme” files—may be installed on the hard-disk
drive to provide last-minute updates about technical
changes to the system or advanced technical refer-
ence material intended for experienced users or
technicians.
NOTE: Documentation updates are sometimes included
with the system to describe changes to the system or soft-
ware. Always read these updates before consulting any
other documentation because the updates often contain infor-
mation that supersedes the information in the other
documents.
