2-16 Dell OptiPlex GX1 and GX1p Mini Tower Managed PC Systems Reference and Installation Guide

With Auto (the default option) selected, the system turns off the built-in diskette drive

controller when necessary to accommodate a controller card installed in an expansion

slot.

With Write Protect selected, nothing can be written to diskette drives and tape drives

using the system’s built-in diskette drive controller. (The system can still read from the

drives.) When this option is selected, the Auto option (whereby the system turns off

the built-in diskette drive controller as necessary) is also in effect.

Selecting Off turns off the built-in diskette/tape drive controller; this option is used pri-

marily for troubleshooting purposes.

 Level 2 Cache displays the size of the integrated cache (512 kilobytes [KB]).

 System Memory indicates the entire amount of installed memory detected in

memory is installed correctly and is recognized by the system.

 Video Memory displays the amount of video memory detected in your system.

 Service Tag

displays the system’s five-character service tag number, which was

service calls. The service tag number is also accessed by certain Dell support

software, including the diagnostics software.

 Asset Tag

displays the customer-programmable asset tag number for the system

if an asset tag number has been assigned. You can use the Asset Tag utility,

which is included with your software support utilities, to enter an asset tag num-

ber up to ten characters long into NVRAM. For information on using the utility,
