Processor

NOTE: Global Standard Products (GSP) are a subset of Dell's 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.

Device Guard (DG) and Credential Guard (CG) are the new security features that are only available on Windows 10 Enterprise today.

Device Guard is a combination of enterprise-related hardware and software security features that, when configured together, will lock a device down so that it can only run trusted applications. If it is not a trusted application, it cannot run.

Credential Guard uses virtualization-based security to isolate secrets (credentials) so that only privileged system software can access them. Unauthorized access to these secrets can lead to credential theft attacks. Credential Guard prevents these attacks by protecting NTLM password hashes and Kerberos Ticket Granting Tickets

NOTE: Processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor availability subject to change and may vary by region/country.

NOTE: These are available offline only.

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 memory range is available to 64-bit operating systems.

	All newly introduced 2019 and later commercial platforms (Latitude, OptiPlex, and Precision) will qualify and ship with the most current factory installed Semi-Annual Channel Windows 10 version (N) and qualify (but not ship) the previous two versions (N-1, N-2). This device platform OptiPlex 3070 will RTS with Windows 10 version v19H1 at time of launch, and this version will determine the N-2 versions that are initially qualified for this platform.
	For future versions of Windows 10, Dell will continue to test the commercial platform with coming Windows 10 releases during device production and for five years post-production, including both fall and spring releases from Microsoft.
	Please reference the Dell Windows as a Service (WaaS) website for additional information on N-2 and 5 year Windows OS supportability. Website can be found at this link:

Platforms Qualified on specific versions of Windows 10

This website also includes a matrix of other platforms qualified on specific versions of Windows 10.

Power

NOTE: These form factors utilize a more efficient Active Power Factor Correction (APFC) power supply. Dell recommends only Universal Power Supplies (UPS) based on Sine Wave output for APFC PSUs, not an approximation of a Sine Wave, Square Wave, or quasi-Square Wave. If you have questions, please contact the manufacturer to confirm the output type.

Updating the BIOS in Windows

It is recommended to update your BIOS (System Setup), when you replace the system board or if an update is available.

NOTE: If BitLocker is enabled, it must be suspended prior to updating the system BIOS, and then re-enabled after the BIOS update is completed.

1 Restart the computer.
2 Go to Dell.com/support.

• Enter the Service Tag or Express Service Code and click Submit.
• Click Detect Product and follow the instructions on screen.

3 If you are unable to detect or find the Service Tag, click Choose from all products.
4 Choose the Products category from the list.

NOTE: Choose the appropriate category to reach the product page

5 Select your computer model and the Product Support page of your computer appears.
6 Click Get drivers and click Drivers and Downloads.

The Drivers and Downloads section opens.

7 Click Find it myself.
8 Click BIOS to view the BIOS versions.
9 Identify the latest BIOS file and click Download.
10 Select your preferred download method in the Please select your download method below window, click Download File.

The File Download window appears.

11 Click Save to save the file on your computer.
12 Click Run to install the updated BIOS settings on your computer.

Follow the instructions on the screen.

Updating BIOS on systems with BitLocker enabled

CAUTION: If BitLocker is not suspended before updating the BIOS, the next time you reboot the system it will not recognize the BitLocker key. You will then be prompted to enter the recovery key to progress and the system will ask for this on each reboot. If the recovery key is not known this can result in data loss or an unnecessary operating system re-install. For more information on this subject, see Knowledge Article: https://www.dell.com/support/article/sln153694

Updating your system BIOS using a USB flash drive

If the system cannot load into Windows but there is still a need to update the BIOS, download the BIOS file using another system and save it to a bootable USB Flash Drive.

NOTE: You will need to use a bootable USB Flash drive. Please refer to the following article for further details: https://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/sln143196/

1 Download the BIOS update .EXE file to another system.
2 Copy the file e.g. O9010A12.EXE onto the bootable USB Flash drive.
3 Insert the USB Flash drive into the system that requires the BIOS update.
4 Restart the system and press F12 when the Dell Splash logo appears to display the One Time Boot Menu.
5 Using arrow keys, select USB Storage Device and click Return.

6 The system will boot to a Diag C:> prompt.
7 Run the file by typing the full filename e.g. O9010A12.exe and press Return.
8 The BIOS Update Utility will load, follow the instructions on screen.

BIOS Update Utility This utility will update the system BIOS and firmware. During the update procedure, your system will restart. Do not interrupt this procedure once it begins. Do not disconnect the AC power source (if you are updating a mobile computer, connect the AC power adapter). Interruption of the BIOS/firmware update procedure will likely render your system unusable. Do you wish to continue (y/n)? y Copyright 2009-2011 Dell Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Flashing the BIOS from the F12 One-Time boot menu

Updating your system BIOS using a BIOS update .exe file copied to a FAT32 USB key and booting from the F12 one time boot menu. BIOS Update

You can run the BIOS update file from Windows using a bootable USB key or you can also update the BIOS from the F12 One-Time boot menu on the system.

Most Dell systems built after 2012 have this capability and you can confirm by booting your system to the F12 One-Time Boot Menu to see if BIOS FLASH UPDATE is listed as a boot option for your system. If the option is listed, then the BIOS supports this BIOS update option.

NOTE: Only systems with BIOS Flash Update option in the F12 One-Time Boot Menu can use this function.

Updating from the One-Time Boot Menu

To update your BIOS from the F12 One-Time boot menu, you will need:

• USB key formatted to the FAT32 file system (key does not have to be bootable)
  • BIOS executable file that you downloaded from the Dell Support website and copied to the root of the USB key
• AC power adapter connected to the system
  • Functional system battery to flash the BIOS

Perform the following steps to execute the BIOS update flash process from the F12 menu:

CAUTION: Do not power off the system during the BIOS update process. Powering off the system could make the system fail to boot.

1 From a power off state, insert the USB key where you copied the flash into a USB port of the system.
2 Power on the system and press the F12 key to access the One-Time Boot Menu, Highlight BIOS Update using the mouse or arrow keys then press Enter.
