LegacySelect Technology Control
LegacySelect technology control offers legacy-full, legacy-reduced, or legacy-
free solutions based on common platforms, hard drive images, and help desk
procedures. Control is provided to the administrator through System Setup,
Dell OpenManage™ IT Assistant, or Dell custom factory integration.
LegacySelect allows administrators to electronically activate or deactivate
connectors and media devices that include serial and USB connectors, PCI
slots, a parallel connector, a floppy drive, and a PS/2 mouse. Connectors and
media devices that are deactivated make resources available. You must restart
the computer to effect the changes.
