Auto Power On enables you to turn on the computer system automatically on certain days of the week at a
preset time. You can set Auto Power On to turn on the system either every day or every Monday through
Friday.

NOTE: This feature does not work if the system is shut off using a power strip or surge protector.

Temperature Monitoring

Your system includes temperature probes to sense when the processor becomes overheated. In such a
case, a message appears on the screen when Dell OpenManage is running or at the next system start-up
notifying you of the problem.

Security Features

Your Dell OptiPlex GX1 system has the following integrated security features.

Chassis Intrusion

A built-in chassis intrusion alarm displays the status of the system chassis intrusion monitor. If the computer
cover is removed, the setting changes to Detected and the following message appears during the boot
sequence at the next system start-up:

Alert! Cover was previously removed

.

The field can be cleared using the System Setup program to enable future intrusions to be detected. For
more information, see "

Using the System Setup Program

."

Security Cable Slot and Padlock Ring

On the back of the computer are a security cable slot and padlock ring (see

Figure 2

) for attaching

commercially available antitheft devices. Security cables for personal computers usually include a segment of
galvanized cable with an attached locking device and key. To prevent unauthorized removal of your
computer, loop the cable around an immovable object, insert the locking device into the security cable slot
on the back of your computer, and lock the device with the key provided. Complete instructions for installing
this kind of antitheft device are usually included with the device.

NOTE: Antitheft devices are of differing designs. Before purchasing such a device, make sure it will
work with the cable slot on your computer.

The padlock ring allows you to secure the computer cover to the chassis to prevent unauthorized access to
the inside of the computer. To use the padlock ring, insert a commercially available padlock through the ring
and then lock the padlock.
