Working on your computer

GUID-6678B449-E61B-463B-A9D1-AB5A04B63651
Safety instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to protect your computer from potential damage and to ensure your personal safety. Unless otherwise
noted, each procedure included in this document assumes that the following conditions exist:
• You have read the safety information that shipped with your computer.
• A component can be replaced or, if purchased separately, installed by performing the removal procedure in reverse order.
WARNING: Disconnect all power sources before opening the computer cover or panels. After you finish working inside the
computer, replace all covers, panels, and screws before connecting to the power source.
WARNING: Before working inside your computer, read the safety information that shipped with your computer. For additional
safety best practices information, see the Regulatory Compliance Homepage at www.dell.com/regulatory_compliance
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.
CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or by periodically touching an
unpainted metal surface, such as a connector on the back of the computer.
CAUTION: Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts on a card. Hold a card by its
edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a component such as a processor by its edges, not by its pins.
CAUTION: When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its pull-tab, not on the cable itself. Some cables have
connectors with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before you disconnect the
cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a
cable, ensure that both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
NOTE: The color of your computer and certain components may appear differently than shown in this document.

Thunderbolt over Type-C

Thunderbolt is a hardware interface that combines data, video, audio, and power in a single connection. Thunderbolt combines PCI Express
(PCIe) and DisplayPort (DP) into one serial signal, and additionally provides DC power, all in one cable. Thunderbolt 1 and Thunderbolt 2 use
the same connector as miniDP (DisplayPort) to connect to peripherals, while Thunderbolt 3 uses a USB Type-C connector.
Figure 1. Thunderbolt 1 and Thunderbolt 3
1 Thunderbolt 1 and Thunderbolt 2 (using a miniDP connector)

2 Thunderbolt 3 (using a USB Type-C connector)
Thunderbolt 3 over Type-C

Thunderbolt 3 brings Thunderbolt to USB Type-C at speeds up to 40 Gbps, creating one compact port that does it all - delivering the
fastest, most versatile connection to any dock, display or data device like an external hard drive. Thunderbolt 3 uses a USB Type-C
connector/port to connect to supported peripherals.
1 Thunderbolt 3 uses USB Type-C connector and cables - It is compact and reversible
2 Thunderbolt 3 supports speed up to 40 Gbps
3 DisplayPort 1.2 – compatible with existing DisplayPort monitors, devices and cables
4 USB Power Delivery - Up to 130W on supported computers
Key Features of Thunderbolt 3 over USB Type-C

Diagnostics
If you experience a problem with your computer, run the ePSA diagnostics before contacting Dell for technical assistance. The purpose of
running diagnostics is to test your computer's hardware without requiring additional equipment or risking data loss. If you are unable to fix
the problem yourself, service and support personnel can use the diagnostics results to help you solve the problem.

Enhanced Pre-Boot System Assessment (ePSA)

diagnostics
The ePSA diagnostics (also known as system diagnostics) performs a complete check of your hardware. The ePSA is embedded with the
BIOS and is launched by the BIOS internally. The embedded system diagnostics provides a set of options for particular devices or device
groups allowing you to:
• Run tests automatically or in an interactive mode

• Repeat tests
• Display or save test results
• Run thorough tests to introduce additional test options to provide extra information about the failed device(s)
• View status messages that inform you if tests are completed successfully
• View error messages that inform you of problems encountered during testing
CAUTION: Use the system diagnostics to test only your computer. Using this program with other computers may cause invalid
results or error messages.
NOTE: Some tests for specific devices require user interaction. Always ensure that you are present at the computer terminal
when the diagnostic tests are performed.
You can launch the ePSA diagnostics in two ways:
1 Power-on the computer.

2 As the computer boots, press the F12 key as the Dell logo appears.
3 On the boot menu screen, select the Diagnostics option.
The Enhanced Pre-boot System Assessment window displays, listing all devices detected in the computer. The diagnostics starts
running the tests on all the detected devices.
4 If you wish to run a diagnostic test on a specific device, press Esc and click Yes to stop the diagnostic test.
5 Select the device from the left pane and click Run Tests
6 If there are any issues, error codes are displayed.

Real Time Clock (RTC) reset

The Real Time Clock (RTC) reset function allows you or the service technician to recover the recently launched model Dell Latitude and
Precision systems from select No POST/No Boot/No Power situations. You can initiate the RTC reset on the system from a power off
state only if it is connected to AC power. Press and hold the power button for 25 seconds. The system RTC reset occurs after you release
the power button.
NOTE: If AC power is disconnected from the system during the process or the power button is held longer than 40 seconds, the
RTC reset process is aborted.
The RTC reset will reset the BIOS to Defaults, un-provision Intel vPro and reset the system date and time. The following items are
unaffected by the RTC reset:
• Service Tag
• Asset Tag
• Ownership Tag
• Admin Password
• System Password
• HDD Password
• Key Databases
• System Logs
The following items may or may not reset based on your custom BIOS setting selections:
• The Boot List

• Enable Legacy OROMs
• Secure Boot Enable
• Allow BIOS Downgrade
