Dell Inspiron 2000 - Manual (Page 127)

support.dell.com Limited Warranty, Return Policy, and Year 2000 Statement of Compliance E-7
, ,


For Dell-branded hardware products shipped prior to January 1, 1997, that have an
upgradable basic input/output system (BIOS), Dell makes available a BIOS upgrade.
Although these products may not have been tested under the YMARK2000 test, Dell
believes that the hardware would pass the YMARK2000 test, provided the appropri-
ate BIOS upgrade is properly loaded.
For Dell-branded hardware products that do not have an upgradable BIOS, Dell has
made available, as a convenience to customers, the Dell Program Patch, a software
utility designed to assist customers in managing the year 2000 rollover.
#%& 
Dell specifically excludes all non-Dell-developed software from this compliance state-
ment. All software run on Dell-branded hardware products should be independently
verified by customers to be year 2000-compliant.
The factory-installed software on your system is the current version provided by the
software manufacturer and is validated by Dell for installation. Dell recommends that
you check each software manufacturer’s year 2000 Web site for updates to their prod-
ucts. Links to a number of these Web sites can be found at the Dell year 2000 Web
sites.
