ADVANCED SYSTEM MANAGEABILITY MODES
NOTE: Hardware management mode options allow you to select the right systems management feature support
for your enterprise. Dell’s innovative approach to scalable remote client management offers you a choice of
built-in hardware management capabilities across platform offerings.
The latest generation of Broadcom® TruManage™ technology provides the capability to manage your install
base of systems regardless of the power or O/S state of the system.
This functionality allows IT to address many issues remotely rather than having to physically visit systems.
The OptiPlex™ XE supports Broadcom® TruManage™ technology which supports the following features:
BIOS Management, asset reporting, remote troubleshooting and repair, power on for remote patching/updating.
Broadcom® TruManage™ Systems Management Ready

MEMORY
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.
