Voltage Probe - Dell OpenManage

I never understood how Precisions were classified. I used to call Dell
Tech Support and go through the Server group, but then I'd be separated
into a group that was strictly Precisions. The last few times I called
I thought I went into a Desktop group, rather than a Precision group.
If you want to call a Precision a "Server" then go ahead. I just think
of the Precision as an advanced desktop.

OpenManage is another story. They only provide OpenManage support for
certain lines of computers including Precision. If that's all it
takes, then call it a server.

Out of warranty Server rather than just a PC
