You should see one of the following four configuration-mode labels on the inside
of the chassis:

NOTE:

If the original configuration-mode label is missing, damaged, or otherwise

illegible, contact Dell to obtain your configuration-mode number (see your computer
documentation for contact information).

3 Replace the bottom access panel.

NOTE:

For information on replacing the system board, see "Replacing the System

Board" in your Service Manual.

4 Disconnect the network cable, if applicable, and the mass storage devices like

hard drives or USB flash keys.

5 Connect the AC adapter and turn on the computer.

An initialization screen is displayed. The green text on the initialization screen
prompts you to select the appropriate configuration for your computer.

CAUTION:

Ensure that you use the correct configuration-mode number. Once you

have selected a configuration, you cannot change the management mode as this
process is not reversible. If you make the wrong selection, your computer may not
operate as it should.

6 Enter the configuration-mode number that you obtained from the label inside

the bottom access panel.

7 If this is the correct configuration-mode number, select Y at the prompt.

Once the initialization is complete, the computer shuts down.

8 Reconnect the network cable and the mass storage devices like hard drives or

USB flash keys.

9 Restart the computer.
