Features

Your Dell computer provides the following features:

l Full multimedia capability through the following standard features:

¡ A 13.3-inch extended graphics array (XGA), 1024 x 768 thin film transistor (TFT) active-matrix color display



¡ An external media bay that supports storage devices such as a DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, diskette, SuperDisk LS-120, or second hard-

disk drive

¡ 256-bit hardware-accelerated video support, with 4 megabytes (MB) of video memory

¡ Accelerated graphics port (AGP) architecture that increases the computer's video performance

¡ Support for a zoomed video (ZV) PC Card in the top PC Card slot

¡ Two audio jacks for connecting a microphone and external stereo speakers or headphones

¡ Integrated microphone and speaker

¡ Software wavetable support and Sound Blaster software-emulation capability

l System memory consisting of synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) small outline, dual-inline memory modules

(SODIMMs).Factory-installed memory can range from 64 MB to a system maximum of 320 MB. Depending on the memory already installed,

you may be able to increase memory by installing a 32-, 64-, or 128-MB SDRAM SODIMM in the memory upgrade socket. The achievable

memory total for your computer depends on the computer's original memory configuration.

l Two power conservation modes—suspend (or standby) mode and suspend-to-disk mode—that help you conserve battery power. If the

batteries run out of power, suspend-to-disk mode prevents data loss by copying all system data to the hard-disk drive and turning off the

computer.

l Connectors for two 3.3-volt (V) or 5-V PC Cards. The upper PC Card slot supports ZV PC Cards.

l Hardware and software support for the Dell Latitude C/Port Family Advanced Port Replicator (APR) and the Dell Latitude C/Dock Family

Expansion Station.

l A touch-pad pointing device positioned for both left- and right-handed users. The left and right touch-pad buttons mimic mouse buttons; you

can also perform many pointing functions by tapping the touch pad itself. Click-and-drag buttonless functions are supported.

l A lithium ion battery in the battery bay. The Dell ExpressCharge™ technology charges a single battery in approximately 1 hour (when the

computer is off or in suspend [or standby] mode).

l A high-performance parallel port and a multipurpose Personal System/2 (PS/2) connector for attaching external devices, a monitor connector

for attaching an external monitor to your computer, and a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector that supports stand-alone and hub devices.

l An automatic thermal management system that uses a variable-speed fan and microprocessor speed changes to keep the system running

at the optimum temperature.

The following software is included with your Dell computer:

l The Microsoft®Windows®95, Windows 98, or Windows NT®4.0 or later operating system is installed on your hard-disk drive. For more

information, see your operating system documentation.

l The System Setup program lets you view and change the system configuration.

l The Program Diskette Maker allows you to create program diskette sets of software that Dell installed on your computer's hard-disk drive.

l Dell Diagnostics for evaluating the computer's components and devices.

Available Options

Dell offers the following devices and upgrade options:

l C/Port Family APRs and C/Dock Family Expansion Stations

l Additional batteries

l External keyboards and keypads

l External monitors

l External pointing devices

l External speakers, headphones, and microphones

l Printers

l Dell Latitude C-Family storage devices such as hard-disk drives, additional hard-disk drives for the external media bay, CD-ROM drives, 4x

DVD-ROM drives, and SuperDisk LS-120 drives

l AC adapter

l PC Cards

l 32-, 64-, and 128-MB memory upgrade modules

l Carrying cases

NOTE: The PC Card controller supports the CardBus standard for 32-bit data transfer on the PC Card.

NOTE: The batteries are designed to work only with Dell Latitude CS/CSx portable computers. Do not use the batteries with other

computers, and do not use batteries from other computers with the Dell Latitude CS/CSx.

CAUTION: Do not puncture or incinerate the battery. When your battery no longer holds a charge, call your local waste

disposal agency or environmental agency for advice on disposing of the computer's lithium ion battery. The lithium ion

technology used in the battery is significantly less hazardous to the environment than the lithium metal technology used in

some other batteries (such as watch batteries).

NOTE: If Dell did not install an operating system on your hard-disk drive, the drivers, system utilities, and diagnostics are available

separately from Dell. To order them, see "Getting Help" for the appropriate telephone number in your location.
