NIC Hardware Key

iSCSI and other future functionalities for the system’s embedded NICs are

enabled by installing an optional NIC hardware key in the ISCSI_KEY socket

on the system board.

CAUTION:

Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.

You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in
your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service
and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not
covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came
with the product.

NOTE:

When future NIC functionality is supported, you must replace the original

NIC hardware key (if installed) with a new hardware key.

1 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect

the system from the electrical outlet.

2 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 83.
3 Locate the ISCSI_KEY connector on the system board. See Figure 6-2.
4 Insert the NIC hardware key into the connector onto the board. See

Figure 3-11.
