Model DCP Notes, Notices, and Cautions Throughout this guide, there may be blocks of text printed in bold type or in italic type. These blocks are notes, notices, and cautions, and they are used as follows: NOTE: A NOTE indicates important information that helps you make better use of your system. NOTICE: A NOTICE indicates either potential damage to hardware or loss of data and tells you how to avoid the problem. [. . . ] System Memory indicates the entire amount of installed memory detected in your system, except for memory on Expanded Memory Specification (EMS) expansion cards. After adding memory, check this option to confirm that the new memory is installed correctly and is recognized by the system. Video Memory displays the amount of video memory detected in your system. Service Tag displays the system's five-character service tag number, which was programmed into nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) by Dell during the manufacturing process. The service tag number is also accessed by certain Dell support software, including the diagnostics software. Asset Tag displays the customer-programmable asset tag number for the system if an asset tag number has been assigned. You can use the Asset Tag utility, which is included with your system utilities, to enter an asset tag number up to ten characters long into NVRAM. For information on using the utility, see the Dell ResourceCD User's Guide. q q q q Using the System Password Feature NOTICE: The password features provide a basic level of security for the data on your system.

If system security is a concern, you should operate your system only with system password protection. You can assign a system password, as described in "Assigning a System Password, " whenever you use the System Setup program. After a system password is assigned, only those who know the password have full use of the system. When the System Password option is set to Enabled, the computer system prompts you for the system password just after the system boots. To change an existing system password, you must know the password (see "Deleting or Changing an Existing System Password"). If you assign and later forget a system password, you need to be able to remove the computer cover to change a jumper setting that disables the system password feature (see "Disabling a Forgotten Password"). Assigning a System Password NOTICE: If you leave your system running and unattended without having a system password assigned, or if you leave your computer unlocked so that someone can disable the password by changing a jumper setting, anyone can access the data stored on your hard-disk drive. Before you can assign a system password, you must enter the System Setup program and check the System Password option. When a system password is assigned, the option shown in the System Password option is Enabled. When the system password feature is disabled by a jumper setting on the system board, the option shown is Disabled by Jumper. You cannot change or enter a new system password if either of these options is displayed. When no system password is assigned and the password jumper on the system board is in the enabled position (its default), the option shown for the System Password option is Not Enabled. Only when this option is set to Not Enabled can you assign a system password, using the following procedure: 1.
