Year 2000 Statement of Compliance for Dell-
Branded Hardware Products
Dell-branded hardware products shipped on or after January 1,1997 , are eligible to carry the
"NSTL Hardware Tested Year 2000 Compliant" logo by virtue of formal testing with, and
successful completion of, the National Software Testing Laboratories (NSTL) YMARK2000
test.* Dell will treat a failure to pass the YMARK2000 test as a covered event under Dell's
warranty for the product, subject to the normal warranty limitations.** For a complete
copy of Dell's warranty, see the product's documentation. Dell-branded hardware products
will also recognize the year 2000 as a leap year.
*The YMARK2000 standard tests the ability of system hardware and firmware to support
the transition to the year 2000 (and to recognize leap years, when appropriate, for years
2000 through 2009 inclusive) and not that of options, operating systems, or applications
software. Dell-branded hardware products that pass the YMARK2000 test conform to BSI-
DISC PD 2000-1.
**Except for this clarification of Dell's warranty for NSTL logo hardware, all other warran-
ties, conditions and remedies, express or implied, relating to year 2000 readiness or
compliance are disclaimed. To make a claim under this warranty for NSTL logo hardware,
customers must contact Dell prior to January 1, 2001. Despite a system's ability to pass
the YMARK2000 test, actual rollover results in specific operating environments may vary
depending on other factors including, but not limited to, other hardware, operating sys-
tems, and applications software.
Previous Products
For Dell-branded hardware products shipped prior to January 1, 1997 , that have an upgrad-
able 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 appropriate 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.
Software
Dell specifically excludes all non-Dell-developed software from this compliance statement.
All software run on Dell-branded hardware products should be independently verified by
customers to be year 2000-compliant.
