After all legacy cards have been configured by the operating system or with the ICU, the computer automatically assigns any required memory space, IRQ lines, and DMA channels to any installed Plug and Play ISA expansion cards and PCI expansion cards the next time the computer is rebooted. Chapter 4, “Using the ISA Configuration Utility,” in the Dell Precision WorkStation 610 Mini Tower Systems User’s Guide describes the ICU and provides instructions for using it to configure the computer.

+DUG'LVN'ULYH2SWLRQV Dell Precision 610 mini tower systems have eight drive bays for installing the following types of drives (see Figure 1-5): The externally accessible drive bays at the front of the computer consist of one 3.5-inch drive bay (dedicated to a 3.5-inch slimline diskette drive) and three 5.25-inch drive bays that can hold up to three half-height, 5.25-inch devices—typically tape drives or CD-ROM drives. Alternately, 3.5-inch devices can be installed in the 5.25-inch bays

NOTE: The externally accessible drive bays at the front of the computer are normally used for diskette drives, CD-ROM drives, and/or tape drives. Hard- disk drives should be installed in the internal hard-disk drive positions described in “Hard-Disk Drive Options” found earlier in this chapter. For detailed information about the data storage subsystem, see Chapter 10, “Installing Drives,” in the User’s Guide. 6&6,6XSSRUW SCSI drives are supported by using two integrated SCSI channels: The

The 10/100-Mbps NIC supports a 10-Mbps direct connection to either a Category 3 or a Category 5 Ethernet cable. When the NIC operates in the 100-Mbps mode, a Category 5 Ethernet cable must be used. Chapter 5, “Using the Network Interface Controller,” in the User’s Guide pro- vides instructions for connecting the computer to, and configuring it for use on, an Ethernet network. 86% USB capability simplifies connection of peripheral devices such as mice, print- ers, and computer speakers.
