About Your System 9

About Your System

This section describes the physical, firmware, and software interface features

that provide and ensure the essential functioning of your system. The

physical connectors on your system’s front and back panels provide

convenient connectivity and system expansion capability. The system

firmware, applications, and operating systems monitor the system and

component status and alert you when a problem arises. System conditions

can be reported by any of the following:

• Front or back panel indicators

• System messages

• Warning messages

• Diagnostics messages

• Alert messages

This section describes each type of message, lists the possible causes, and

provides steps to resolve any problems indicated by a message. The system

indicators and features are illustrated in this section.

Other Information You May Need

NOTE: Important safety and regulatory information is provided in another

document. Warranty information may be included within this document or as a

separate document.

• The

Getting Started Guide

provides an overview of system features, setting

up your system, and technical specifications.

• CDs or DVDs included with your system provide documentation and tools

for configuring and managing your system.

• Systems management software documentation describes the features,

requirements, installation, and basic operation of the software.

• Operating system documentation describes how to install (if necessary),

configure, and use the operating system software.

• Documentation for any components you purchased separately provides

information to configure and install these options.

book.book Page 9 Wednesday, June 24, 2009 8:21 AM

10 About Your System

• Updates are sometimes included with the system to describe changes to

the system, software, and/or documentation.

NOTE: Always check for updates on support.dell.com and read the updates

first because they often supersede information in other documents.

• Release notes or readme files may be included to provide last-minute

updates to the system or documentation or advanced technical reference

material intended for experienced users or technicians.

Accessing System Features During Startup

Table 1-1 describes keystrokes that may be entered during startup to access

system features. If your operating system begins to load before you enter the

keystroke, allow the system to finish booting, and then restart your system

and try again.

Table 1-1. Keystrokes for Accessing System Features

Keystroke Description

<F2> Enters the System Setup program. See "Using the System Setup

Program" on page 29.

<F10> Opens the utility partition, allowing you to run the system

diagnostics. See "Running the System Diagnostics" on page 132.

<F11> Enters the boot menu selection screen, allowing you to choose a boot

device.

<F12> Initiates PXE boot.

<Ctrl+C> Option is displayed for some SAS controller expansion cards. Enters

the SAS Configuration Utility, which includes RAID configuration

options. See your SAS adapter User’s Guide for more information.

<Ctrl+S> Option is displayed only if you have PXE support enabled through

the System Setup Program (see Table 2-1). This keystroke allows you

to configure NIC settings for PXE boot. For more information, see

the documentation for your integrated NIC.
