Dell OptiPlex E1 - Manual (Page 43)

Using the System Setup Program 2-15
NOTES: All EIDE drives shipped with your system support this feature. (For more
information, see “ENERGY STAR Compliance” in Chapter 1.)
However, not all EIDE hard-disk drives support this feature. Enabling this feature for
drives that do not support it may cause the EIDE drive to become inoperable until the
computer is restarted and the Power
Management option is disabled.
In low-power mode, the disks inside the drive stop spinning. They remain idle until the
next drive access, which causes them to start spinning again. (Because the disks take
a few seconds to regain full speed, you may notice a slight delay the next time you
access the hard-disk drive.)
When Power Management is set to Disabled (the default), the disks spin con-
stantly as long as the system is turned on.

Asset Tag displays the customer-programmable asset tag number for the system if an
asset tag number has been assigned. You can use the Asset Tag utility, which is
included with your software support utilities, to enter an asset tag number up to ten
characters long into nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM). For information on
using the utility, see “Using Drivers and Utilities” in your online
System User’s Guide.
