Default Dell Precision 210...Can't get the plastic case OFF



Mabe I'm just getting old but I can not figure this out. I can pull
the memory just by reaching inside but also I want to pull the 550mhz
CPU. there is a lot of space to reach inside after I removed the metal
IDE hard drive box. can I pull out the CPU just by reaching inside?
Thanks for any help.

ok great info thanks Stew!
BTW, is there anyway I can bypass the Administrator-password
login?
hitting 'Escape' did not work.

Check the documentation under 'jumper' settings. It can probably be cleared
by temporarily moving one or more jumpers.

I thought he meant the admin/supervisor BIOS password.

Of course, if he meant Windows, then you and Jay are right........he's just
better off wiping it.

yes I meant the windows password for Windows Server 2003 Enterprise
Ed.

This is the first server I've worked with and since I got it for $5 at
Goodwill I'd like to get it up and running just to use it as a basic
PC. I think there is a problem with the Seagate Cheetah ST39103LW
SCSI 68 Pin. I tryed to wipe it but FDISK can't find it as drive 0,
1, C, etc. The 12 pin socket (in between the 68 pin and large 4 pin)
was not connected to anything. I will buy a new HD but do I need a
Ultra-Wide SCSI and do I have to get the faster 10k rpm and will this
all work with plain old Win98?
