Processors  
NOTE: Global Standard Products (GSP) are a subset of Dell’s relationship products that are managed for availability and  
synchronized transitions on a worldwide basis. They ensure the same platform is available for purchase globally. This  
allows customers to reduce the number of configurations managed on a worldwide basis, thereby reducing their costs.  
They also enable companies to implement global IT standards by locking in specific product configurations worldwide.  
NOTE: Processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor availability is subject to change and may vary  
by region/country.

Your computer supports one or more combination of the following configurations:  
One 3.5-inch, 7200 RPM, SATA hard drive  
One M.2 Gen 3 PCIe x4 NVMe Solid State Drive  
One 9.5 mm DVD +/- R/W tray type optical drive  
The primary drive of your computer varies with the storage configuration. For computers:  
with a M.2 drive, the M.2 drive is the primary drive  
without a M.2 drive, the 3.5-inch hard drive is the primary drive  
NOTE: For dual 2.5-inch hard drive and Intel Optane memory configuration, you must disconnect the 2nd hard drive from  
the controller to support Intel Optane memory in the Windows operating system.

mouse, and printer.  
Entering BIOS setup program  
About this task  
Turn on (or restart) your computer and press F2 immediately.  
Boot menu  
Press <F12> when the Dell logo appears to initiate a one-time boot menu with a list of the valid boot devices for the system. Diagnostics  
and BIOS Setup options are also included in this menu. The devices listed on the boot menu depend on the bootable devices in the system.  
This menu is useful when you are attempting to boot to a particular device or to bring up the diagnostics for the system. Using the boot  
menu does not make any changes to the boot order stored in the BIOS.  
The options are:  
UEFI Boot:  
Windows Boot Manager
