Dell Inspiron 3700 - Manual (Page 173)

support.dell.com Warranty, Return Policy, and Year 2000 Statement of Compliance E-7
Despite a system's ability to pass the YMARK2000 test, actual rollover results in specific
operating environments may vary depending on other factors including, but not limited to, other
hardware, operating systems, and applications software.
, ,
For Dell-branded hardware products shipped prior to January 1, 1997, that have an
upgradable basic input/output system (BIOS), Dell makes available a BIOS upgrade.
Although these products may not have been tested under the YMARK2000 test,
Dell believes that the hardware would pass the YMARK2000 test, provided the
appropriate BIOS upgrade is properly loaded.
For Dell-branded hardware products that do not have an upgradable BIOS, Dell has
made available, as a convenience to customers, the Dell Program Patch, a software
utility designed to assist customers in managing the year 2000 rollover.
#%&
Dell specifically excludes all non-Dell-developed software from this compliance
statement. All software run on Dell-branded hardware products should be
independently verified by customers to be year 2000-compliant.
The factory-installed software on your system is the current version provided by the
software manufacturer and is validated by Dell for installation. Dell recommends that
you check each software manufacturer’s year 2000 Web site for updates to their
products. Links to a number of these Web sites can be found at the Dell year 2000
Web sites.
