Microprocessor

Your system supports the following microprocessors:

•AnIntel

®Pentium®4 microprocessor with a 533-MHz front side bus speed, internal

processing speed of at least 2.4 GHz, and a 512-KB cache. Microprocessors with an

internal speed of 3.06 GHz or higher support Hyper-Threading.

• An Intel Celeron®microprocessor with a 400-MHz front side bus speed, internal

Installing the Microprocessor Heat Sink

The microprocessor heat sink includes thermal grease on the lower surface of the heat sink.

If you upgrade or replace your microprocessor, you must remove the protective cover on the

underside of the heat sink (see Figure 1-1) to expose the thermal grease prior to installing

the heat sink on the microprocessor. For more information on replacing the microprocessor,

see "Installing System Options" in the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.

IDE Drive Configurations

The IDE subsystem provides three channels (primary, secondary, and tertiary). Each

channel supports up to two IDE devices. Table 1-1 lists guidelines for installing IDE drives

connected to the IDE system board connectors. Figure 1-2 shows the location of these

connectors on the system board.

Drive Type(s)

1 PRIMARY IDE Hard drives only. Hard drives on this channel operate in

DMA mode at ATA-33, ATA-66, or ATA-100 transfer

speeds.

2 SECONDARY IDE Hard drives only. Hard drives on this channel operate in

DMA mode at ATA-33, ATA-66, or ATA-100 transfer

speeds.

3 THIRD IDE CD, DVD, and tape drives only. Hard drives are not

supported. CD and DVD drives operate in DMA mode

at ATA-33 transfer speeds. Tape drives operate in PIO

mode 3.

NOTE: Before installing a hard drive on the secondary IDE channel, you must install one or more

hard drives on the primary channel. You cannot install a bootable hard drive on the secondary

channel.

NOTE: The configuration jumper on all IDE drives must be set to Cable Select. Master and slave

jumper settings are not supported.

1-6 Information Update

System Memory

To prevent possible compatibility problems, do not use Micron 128-MB memory modules

in your system.

Memory modules must be installed starting with the first connector (farthest from the

microprocessor) and leaving no open connectors between installed memory modules. See

"Installing System Options" in the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for information

on adding additional memory.

Using the Power Button

To start the system, press the power button and release it as soon as the green power

indicator is lit. If you continue to press the power button, the system shuts down.

To turn off the system, press and release the power button. The system will perform an

orderly shutdown before power is turned off. If you press the power button for more than

4 seconds to shut down the system, power is turned off immediately.

If you select the Disable Power Button option using the System Setup program, the power

button will still function throughout system POST, but will be deactivated just before the

operating system is loaded.

System Lockup While Loading a DOS-Mode CD

Drive Device Driver

If your system includes a CD drive and a slave IDE device such as a tape backup unit, your

system may lock up while loading a DOS-mode device driver for the CD drive (such as

when you boot the system from a bootable diskette or CD). If this problem occurs, update

the DOS device driver for the CD drive by downloading the latest device driver from

www.cdrom-drivers.com.

Console Redirection

Console redirection is not currently supported at the operating system level but is

supported during system POST.

Information Update 1-7

Novell NetWare 6.0

Installing Novell NetWare 6.0 With a Slave Device Installed on the Tertiary

Drive Channel

Certain IDE slave devices connected to the tertiary IDE drive channel (such as IDE tape

backup units) may prevent you from successfully installing Novell NetWare. To prevent

these problems if they occur, perform the following steps:

1Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system

from the electrical outlet.

2Remove the cover (see "Removing the Cover" in your Installation and Troubleshooting

Guide).

3Lay the system on its right side.

4Disconnect the interface and power cables from the slave IDE device on the tertiary

drive channel (see "Installing Drives" in your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide).

5Stand the system upright.

6Install the cover (see "Installing the Cover" in your Installation and Troubleshooting

Guide).

7Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on, including any

attached peripherals.

8Perform a standard or express installation of NetWare.

For more information, see the documentation supplied with the operating system.

9Restart the system, and then shut down the system normally.

10 Disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.

11 Reconnect the interface and power cables to the slave IDE device.

During a Manual Installation, NetWare Is Unable to Mount the CD Drive

Dell strongly recommends that you use the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD to install

NetWare. If you choose to manually install NetWare from the Novell installation CD, you

must download and install a new IDEATA.HAM driver:

1 If a slave IDE device is installed on the tertiary IDE channel, temporarily disconnect

the drive as described in step 1 through step 7 of "Installing Novell NetWare 6.0 With

a Slave Device Installed on the Tertiary Drive Channel."

2Download the IDEATA.HAM file from the Novell website at

http://developer.novell.com.

3Copy the IDEATA.HAM file to a diskette.

4Boot the system from the NetWare 6.0 installation CD.

5Create a new boot partition:

aChoose a language.

bAccept the license agreement.

cChoose Create a new partition.

dReboot when prompted to do so.

eWait for the new partition to format.

6Copy the update files to the boot partition:

aAfter the partition is formatted and the license agreement screen appears, press

<CTRL>< ESC> to continue.

bSelect System Console.

cType DOWN.

dType C: to select the hard drive.

eType cd\ to move to the root directory.

fType md nwupdate to create a directory for the update files.

gInsert the diskette with the new IDE driver into the system’s diskette drive.

hType copy a:\*.* c:\nwupdate.

The files are copied from the diskette.

iReboot the system.

jAt the Boot Partition screen, select Continue with existing partition.

7Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the NetWare installation.

8If you disconnected a slave IDE device in step 1, shut down the system and reconnect

the slave IDE device.

SCSI Tape Backup Unit Activity May Cause System Lockup

After initiating a secure erase on a SCSI tape backup unit (TBU), the Novell X Window

client may lock up, along with other NetWare applications. To prevent this problem,

download the support pack from Novell’s website at support.novell.com by searching for

longscsi.exe or document number 2961305.
