Width	6.95 in. (176.6 mm)

NOTE: The weight of your system unit varies depending on the configuration ordered and the manufacturing variability.

Processors

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. When you configure together, it locks a device down so that it can only run trusted applications. 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 NT LAN Manager (NTLM) password hashes and Kerberos Ticket Granting Tickets.

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

System setup

System setup enables you to manage your hardware and specify BIOS level options. From the System setup, you can:

• Change the NVRAM settings after you add or remove hardware
  • View the system hardware configuration
• Enable or disable integrated devices
• Set performance and power management thresholds
• Manage your computer security

BIOS overview

The BIOS manages data flow between the computer's operating system and attached devices such as hard disk, video adapter, keyboard, mouse, and printer.

Entering BIOS setup program

About this task

Turn on (or restart) your computer and press F2 immediately.
