Hyper-Threading



Hyper-Threading is an Intel®technology that can enhance overall computer performance by allowing one physical processor to function as two logical

processors, capable of performing certain tasks simultaneously. It is recommended that you use the Microsoft®Windows®XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) operating

system because Windows XP is optimized to take advantage of Hyper-Threading technology. While many programs can benefit from Hyper-Threading, some

programs have not been optimized for Hyper-Threading and may require an update from the software manufacturer. Contact the software manufacturer for

updates and information about using Hyper-Threading with your software.



To determine if your computer is using Hyper-Threading technology:

1. Click the Start button, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

2. Click Hardware and click Device Manager.

3. In the Device Manager window, click the plus (+) sign next to the processor type. If Hyper-Threading is enabled, the processor is listed twice.



You can enable or disable Hyper-Threading through system setup.

Alert Standard Format



ASF is a DMTF management standard that specifies "pre-operating system" or "operating system-absent" alerting techniques. It is designed to generate an

alert on potential security and fault conditions when the operating system is in a sleep state or the system is powered down. ASF is designed to supersede

previous operating system-absent alerting technologies.



The OptiPlex GX60 supports the following ASF version 1.0 alerts and remote capabilities:



NOTICE: Ensure that your computer is turned off and unplugged before you change the jumper settings. Otherwise, damage to your computer or

NOTICE: Although passwords provide security for the data on your computer, they are not foolproof. If your data requires more security, it is your

responsibility to obtain and use additional forms of protection, such as data encryption programs.

NOTICE: If you leave your computer 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 drive.

You cannot change or enter a new system password if either of the following two options is displayed:

lEnabled —A system password is assigned.

lDisabled —The system password is disabled by a jumper setting on the system board.



You can only assign a system password when the following option is displayed:

lNot Enabled —No system password is assigned, and the password jumper on the system board is in the enabled position (the default).



Assigning a System Password



Power Management



Your computer can be set to use less power when you are not working. You control the power usage through the operating system installed on your computer

and certain option settings in system setup. These periods of reduced power are called "sleep states":

lStandby. In this sleep state, power is reduced or turned off for most components, including the cooling fans. However, system memory remains active.



This state is not supported by Microsoft Windows NT®4.0.



lHibernate. This sleep state reduces power consumption to a minimum by writing all data in system memory to a hard drive and then removing system

power. Waking up from this state restarts the computer, and the memory contents are restored. Operation then resumes where the computer left off

when it entered the hibernation state.



This state is not supported by Windows NT 4.0.

CAUTION: Before you open the computer cover, follow the safety instructions.

NOTICE: To turn off your computer, perform an orderly computer shutdown when possible.
