Working on Your Computer
Before Working Inside Your Computer
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer from potential damage and to help to ensure your
personal safety. Unless otherwise noted, each procedure included in this document assumes that the following
conditions exist:
•
•
You have read the safety information that shipped with your computer.
A component can be replaced or--if purchased separately--installed by performing the removal procedure in
reverse order.
WARNING: Before working inside your computer, read the safety information that shipped with your computer. For
regulatory_compliance
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform
troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or
telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your
warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or by periodically
touching an unpainted metal surface, such as a connector on the back of the computer.
CAUTION: Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts on a card. Hold a
card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a component such as a processor by its edges, not by its
pins.
CAUTION: When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its pull-tab, not on the cable itself. Some
cables have connectors with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs
before you disconnect the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any
connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, ensure that both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
NOTE: The color of your computer and certain components may appear differently than shown in this document.
To avoid damaging your computer, perform the following steps before you begin working inside the computer.
1. Ensure that your work surface is flat and clean to prevent the computer cover from being scratched.
2. Turn off your computer (see Turning Off Your Computer).
CAUTION: To disconnect a network cable, first unplug the cable from your computer and then unplug the
cable from the network device.
3. Disconnect all network cables from the computer.
4. Disconnect your computer and all attached devices from their electrical outlets.
5. Press and hold the power button while the computer is unplugged to ground the system board.
6. Remove the cover.
7
CAUTION: Before touching anything inside your computer, ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal
surface, such as the metal at the back of the computer. While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal
surface to dissipate static electricity, which could harm internal components.
Turning Off Your Computer
CAUTION: To avoid losing data, save and close all open files and exit all open programs before you turn off your

System Setup
System Setup
This computer offers you the following options:
•
•
Access System Setup by pressing <F2>
Bring up a one-time boot menu by pressing <F12>
Press <F2> to enter System Setup and make changes to the user-definable settings. If you have trouble entering System
Setup using this key, press <F2> when the keyboard LEDs first flash.
Boot Menu
This feature gives users a quick and convenient mechanism to bypass the System Setup-defined boot device order and
boot directly to a specific device (for example: floppy, CD-ROM, or hard drive).
Keystroke
<Ctrl><Alt><F8>
<F12>
Function
one-time boot and diagnostics utility menu
one-time boot and diagnostics utility menu
Boot Menu Enhancements
The boot menu enhancements are as follows:
•
•
•
Easier access — Although the <Ctrl><Alt><F8> keystroke still exists and can be used to call up the menu, simply
press <F12> during system boot to access the menu.
User prompting — Not only is the menu easy to access, when you are prompted to use the keystroke on the
BIOS splash screen (see image below). The keystroke is not "hidden".
Diagnostics options — The boot menu includes two diagnostic options, IDE Drive Diagnostics (90/90 Hard Drive
Diagnostics) and Boot to the Utility Partition. The benefit here is that you do not have to remember the
<Ctrl><Alt><D> and <Ctrl><Alt><F10> keystrokes (although they still work).
NOTE: The BIOS features an option to disable either or both of the keystroke prompts under the System Security /
Post Hotkeys submenu.
When you enter the <F12> or <Ctrl><Alt><F8> keystroke correctly, the computer beeps. The key sequence invokes the
Boot Device Menu.
31
Since the one-time boot menu only affects the current boot, it has the added benefit of not requiring the technician to
restore the customer's boot order after completing troubleshooting.
Timing Key Sequences
The keyboard is not the first device initialized by Setup. As a result, if you press a keystroke too early, you lock out the
keyboard. When this happens, a keyboard error message appears on the monitor, and you cannot restart the system
with the <Ctrl><Alt><Del> keys.
To avoid this scenario, wait until the keyboard is initialized before pressing the keystroke. There are two ways to know
that this has happened:
•
•
The keyboard lights flash.
The "F2=Setup" prompt appears in the top right-hand corner of the screen during boot.
The second method is good if the monitor is already warmed up. If it is not, the system often passes the window of
opportunity before the video signal is visible. If this is the case, rely on the first method—the keyboard lights—to know
the keyboard is initialized.
Beep Codes and Text Error Messages
The OptiPlex BIOS is capable of displaying error messages in plain English, along with beep codes. If the BIOS
determine the previous boot was unsuccessful, it displays an error message similar to the following:
Previous attempts at booting the system have failed at checkpoint ______. For
help resolving this problem, please note this checkpoint and contact Dell
Technical Support.
Navigation
The computer setup can be navigated by either the keyboard or the mouse.
Use the following keystrokes to navigate the BIOS screens:

Expand or collapse all fields
<Enter>, left- or right-arrow key, or +/–

Diagnostic LEDs
NOTE: The diagnostic LEDs only serve as an indicator of the progress through the Power-on Self-Test (POST)
process. These LEDs do not indicate the problem that caused the POST routine to stop.
The diagnostic LEDs are located on the front of the chassis next to the power button. These diagnostic LEDs are only
active and visible during the POST process. Once the operating system starts to load, they turn off and are no longer
visible.
The system now includes pre-POST and POST LEDs in an attempt to help identifying a possible problem with the system
easier and more accurate.
NOTE: The diagnostic lights will blink when the power button is amber or off, and will not blink when it is blue. This
has no other significance.

Beep Codes
The computer can emit a series of beeps during start-up if the display cannot show errors or problems. These series of
beeps, called beep codes, identify various problems. The delay between each beep is 300 ms, the delay between each
set of beeps is 3 sec, and the beep sound lasts 300 ms. After each beep and each set of beeps, the BIOS should detect if
the user presses the power button. If so, BIOS will jump out from looping and execute the normal shutdown process and
power system.
