Selecting Off turns off the built-in diskette controller; this setting is used primarily for troubleshooting purposes. Speaker controls the built-in speaker. The default is On. Rebooting the system is required for a change to take effect. Primary SCSI and Secondary SCSI turn the respective SCSI controller on or off. Selecting On (the default) enables the built-in PCI SCSI controller and scans the associated read-only memory (ROM). For the system to boot from a drive attached to the built-in SCSI controller, the drive must be enabled. Selecting Off causes the BIOS to mask the presence of a device. The box in the bottom-right corner of the System Setup screens displays the following information about the system: The processor line displays the microprocessor type and speed. Level 2 Cache displays the size of the integrated cache (512 kilobytes [KB]). System Memory indicates the entire amount of installed memory detected in your system, except for memory on Expanded Memory Specification (EMS) expansion cards. After adding memory, check System Memory to confirm that the new 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 programmed into NVRAM by Dell during the manufacturing process. Refer to this number during technical assistance or 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 number up to ten characters long into NVRAM. See "Asset Tag Utility" in Chapter 2 for information on loading the Asset Tag utility. 4-10 Dell PowerEdge 4300 Systems User's Guide
