How to identify Dell computer model using the model code

If your Dell computer only displays a model code in System Setup program or on the Dell startup screen, use this reference list to determine your computer’s model name.

In 2005, the System Setup program on certain Dell Dimension, Inspiron and XPS computers was changed to display a model code instead of the computer model name. The Resource and Driver CD also lists the computer by the code. Knowing both your computer’s model code and model name is helpful when updating drivers and other software.
