Precision 7560 & 7760 Owners' Thread

You can also easily pair Bluetooth devices that support connecting to Bluetooth via NFC such as Sony 1000XM4 headphones.

 

Here's a fun one...
Finally went into the BIOS, checked out all of the settings, and set them up how I want. (Keyboard backlight duration, turning off that OS failure auto recovery feature, various other things.)
Restarted the system and it wouldn't do anything. Well, the keyboard lit up but the display did not. Sat there for a minute, nothing. Held down the power button to power it off, because I had other things to do.

Came back a bit later and tried it again. Same thing. OK, I guess I need to reset the BIOS. I pulled the bottom cover off. Where's the coin cell battery? Don't see it anywhere. I guess I need to look up directions for how to reset the BIOS, but before that... I just unplugged the battery and held down the power button for 30 seconds figuring that might do the trick.

Turned it back on and this time I got an LED error code. Four yellows and a white. Dug up my phone to look up the code. "DIMM rail power failure?" It says to reseat the memory (which I have not touched, it is under the keyboard). Great, am I calling Dell out to service this machine already? But while I was putzing around trying to locate the code, the system actually booted up to the Dell logo and now it seems to be fine.

Hmm.

 

That stinks. Did you run any of the diagnostics?

Also, why do you turn off the os recover feature? What does that do?

Haven't run the diagnostics but I'll probably do that and let it run overnight tonight or tomorrow.
The auto OS recover thing (can't remember the "actual" name for this feature off hand) is something that I ran into on my coworker's system while trying to get a Windows image brought over from another system to work. The BIOS is able to detect if your primary OS successfully booted or not. If it fails to boot twice in a row, the BIOS will then start up the diagnostics utility automatically and tried to tell you what might be wrong. (In this case it was flagging that I had "no hard drive installed" because of the Samsung 980 Pro issue I described above.) Just annoying. I'll start the diagnostics if I want to, but I don't need it firing automatically.

 

Thanks. I just had a similar issue with my 7710. Keyboard lit up but nothing. I posted in the 7710 thread. I was able to get it up with the battery out and hold the power button to drain residual power. But i did not see any dimm error like you. Screen would. It come on.

I benchmarked my 7560 (i9-11950H; RTX A2000; 32GB 3467MHz; Samsung 980 Pro SSD; Windows 10 Pro) running Adobe Lightroom with two GPU settings.

I ran Pugetbench for Lightroom Classic with the default setting for GPU acceleration, which results in "basic acceleration":

• Overall: 975.0
• Active: 88.1
• Passive: 106.9

I reran the same benchmark with the GPU setting that forces Lightroom to use GPU "full acceleration":

• Overall: 943.5
• Active: 87.8
• Passive: 100.9

 

What slot do you have the 980 Pro in?

 

What is the normal temp for the SSD in the Gen 4 Slot? When not using external screens. idle for a while, temp drops to around 48 Degrees C. However, when I have to monitors hooked up, lid closed, and it is using the Nvidia A5000, if idle for a while it will go to 58 Degrees C, but when using it it gets as up to 66 Degrees with doing just basic things. Power mode is optimized.

 

Slot 4, the PCIe Gen4 slot by itself under the optional door. That's where the original 256GB drive was installed when I received the machine. That 256GB drive is currently in a box.

 

I know this is slightly off topic, but is there a practical scenario where you can actually use the bandwidth of a PCIE Gen 4 SSD? And have you ever encountered such scenario?

Also, since DDR5 RAM apparently has a higher density (can also be a bad thing....) would that mean we might see 256GB+ max RAM capacity on the 7x70's?
