Power supply-built in self test BIST The Dell OptiPlex, and Desktops(AIO) features a new Power Supply Unit (PSU) Built -in Self Test (BIST). BIST can now be performed by simply connecting the AC power cord to the PSU.
LCD built in self test - BIST All-in-One (AIO) systems supports LCD BIST similar to any other Dell systems that have BIST test implemented. It allows the user to isolate the LCD during troubleshooting to determine which sub-system is at fault. The main difference is the lack of an integrated keyboard scan controller in the AIO.
