The password feature enables you to set a user-defined password to restrict access to the system. Additional protection is

available through the System Setup program. When the Setup Password category is set to Enabled, Password Status allows you to

prevent the system password from being changed or disabled at boot time. For more information, see "

Using the System Setup

Program".

Using the Power Switch

If the system does not turn off when the power switch is pressed, the system may be hung. Press and hold the power switch until

the system turns off completely (this process may take several seconds). Alternatively, press the reset button to reset the system

and reboot. If the system is hung and both buttons fail to function properly, unplug the AC power cable from the computer, wait for

it to completely stop running, plug in the AC power cable, and if it the system does not restart, press the power switch to restart

the system.

Using the Optional Stand for Vertical Orientation

Dell offers an optional stand that you can attach to the computer for a mini tower (vertical) orientation. Although you can attach

(and remove) the stand at any time with a minimum of system disruption, it is easiest to attach before you set up your computer

and connect the back-panel cables.

Attach the stand as follows:

1. Turn the computer onto its right side, so that the drive bays are at the bottom.

2. Fit the stand onto what was the left side of the computer.

Position the stand as shown in Figure 1-3. Align the large round hole in the stand with the securing button on the side of

the cover, and align the captive thumbscrew in the stand with the screw hole in the cover.

Figure 1-3. Attaching the Optional Stand for Vertical Orientation

As you lower the stand into place, make sure that the locator pin (see Figure 1-3) fits into the corner hole of the hole pattern

as shown. When the stand is in place, tighten the thumbscrew.

3. Rotate the computer so that the stand is at the bottom and the drives are at the top.

To remove the stand, turn the computer over so the stand is at the top, loosen the screw and lift the stand away, and place the

computer in a horizontal position.

Energy Star Compliance

Certain configurations of Dell computer systems comply with the requirements set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA) for energy-efficient computers. If the front panel of your computer bears the Energy Star Emblem (see Figure 1-4), your

original configuration complied with these requirements and all Energy Star power management features of the computer are

enabled. To disable or change the operation of these features, you must change the setting for the Power Management category in

the System Setup program. For instructions, see "

Using the System Setup Program."
