Introduction:DellPrecision™WorkStation220SystemUser'sGuide

Overview

Dell Precision WorkStation 220 systems are high-performance, expandable workstation computers designed to optimize the Intel®Pentium®III

architecture. The Dell Precision 220 workstation provides a uniquely tuned environment that balances processing, memory, graphics, and storage

for optimal performance in demanding 2-dimensional (2D), mainstream 3-dimensional (3D), or data-intensive applications.

Hardware Features

Your system offers the following features:

l Up to two Intel Pentium III microprocessors.

l System memory that can be increased up to 1 gigabyte (GB) by installing Rambus dynamic random-access memory (RDRAM) Rambus in-

line memory modules (RIMMs) in the RIMM sockets on the system board. See "System Memory" for details.

l An accelerated graphics port (AGP) 4X graphics card with up to 32 MB of synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) or synchronous graphics RAM

(SGRAM) video memory. See your graphics card documentation for further details.

l An integrated Analog Devices AD1881 AC97 Codec audio controller that provides Sound Blaster emulation and 16-bit analog-to-digital and

digital-to-analog stereo conversion.

l Self-Monitoring and Analysis Reporting Technology II (SMART II) support, which warns you at system start-up if your enhanced integrated

drive electronics (EIDE) hard-disk drive has become unreliable.

EIDE hard-disk drives shipped with Dell Precision 220 systems are SMART II-compliant.

l Ultra Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA)/66 support, which allows EIDE ATA-compatible fixed-disk storage devices to transfer data at

speeds up to 66 MB per second (MB/sec).

l Full compliance with Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) specification 2.2.

l Full compliance with Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification 1.0A.

l Remote Wake Up capability for both integrated network interface controllers (NICs) and optional NIC expansion cards. When the Remote

Wake Up option is enabled in embedded System Setup, the system can be powered up remotely from a server management console.

Remote Wake Up capability also allows remote computer setup, software downloading and installation, file updates, and asset tracking after

business hours and on weekends when network traffic is at a minimum.

l Managed boot agent (MBA), which allows the system to boot from one of four network preboot environment protocols: Preboot eXecution

Environment (PXE), Remote Program Load (RPL), BootP, or Novell®NetWare®Remote Boot.

l Remote system alerts, which allow the system to transmit special predetermined network messages regarding its operating condition.

l Universal Serial Bus (USB) capability, which can simplify connecting peripheral devices such as mice, printers, and computer speakers. The

system basic input/output system (BIOS) supports USB keyboards and mice in MS-DOS®and other non-Windows®environments.

l Dell Precision mini tower or desktop chassis for easy service, upgradability, or parts replacement.

For additional hardware features, see "Specifications."

NOTE: To reach the maximum 1-GB memory total, you must install two 512-megabyte (MB) RIMMs (when available) that

each have a maximum of 16 memory devices. The system supports no more than a total of 32 memory devices on all

installed RIMMs. See Figure 1 in "System Memory" for the location of a label on the RIMM that identifies the number of

memory devices it contains.

NOTE: To meet PC99 Workstation requirements, your Dell system uses only PCI expansion slots. Industry-Standard

Architecture (ISA) expansion cards are not supported.
