PROCESSOR
NOTE: Global Standard Products (GSP) are a subset of Dells relationship products that are managed for availability and synchronized transitions on a worldwide basis. They ensure the same platform is available for purchase globally. This allows customers to reduce the number of configurations managed on a worldwide basis, thereby reducing their costs. They also enable companies to implement global IT standards by locking in specific product configurations worldwide. The following GSP processors identified below will be made available to Dell customers. NOTE: Processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor availability subject to change and may vary by region/ country.

MEMORY
NOTE: Memory modules should be installed in pairs of matched memory size, speed, and technology. If the memory modules are not installed in matched pairs, the computer will continue to operate, but with a slight reduction in performance. The entire 16-GB memory range is available to 64-bit operating systems.

The total amount of available memory will be less than 4GB. The amount less depends on the actual system configuration. To fully utilize 4GB or

more of memory requires a 64-bit enabled processor and 64-bit operating system.

ENCLOSURE VENTILATION

If your enclosure has doors, they need to be of a type that allows at least 30% airflow through the enclosure (front and back).
ENCLOSURE MINIMUM CLEARANCE

Leave a 10.2 cm (4 in.) minimum clearance on all vented sides of the computer to permit the airflow required for proper ventilation.

RECOMMENDED ENCLOSURE

Do not install your computer in an enclosure that does not allow airflow. This restricts the airflow and impacts your computers performance, possibly causing it to overheat.

OPEN DESK MINIMUM CLEARANCE

If your computer is installed in a corner, on a desk, or under a desk, leave at least 5.1 cm (2 in.) clearance from the back of the computer to the wall to permit the airflow required for proper ventilation.
