= Dell XPS 17 9710 =

 |

There are two major hardware variants. Intel-only and NVidia
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This has only been tested with the Intel-only variant
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
== Firmware Configuration ==
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Enter the bios by repeatedly pressing F2 when the laptop turns on
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=== Before installation ===
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
These settings are needed both for booting the final install, and installer itself. Therefore, they must be done first.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
==== Method One ====
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Click ''Restore Settings'' button a select ''BIOS Defaults'', not to be confused with ''Factory Settings''
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
==== Method Two ====
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* ''Disable Secure Boot (but keep UEFI Boot).'' Thankfully doing so is as easy as changing any other simple setting.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* ''Disable Intel hardware RAID and use AHCI instead.'' Intel doesn't seem to provide a working linux driver for this
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
== Optional ==
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=== Firmware upgrades ===
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note that this device is supported by [https://fwupd.org/ fwupd].
 | 
						|
To perform firmware upgrades just activate the service
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<code>
 | 
						|
services.fwupd.enable = true;
 | 
						|
</code>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Then use <code>fwupdmgr</code> to perform updates.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=== Enable fingerprint reader ===
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Activate the service
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<code>
 | 
						|
services.fprintd.enable = true;
 | 
						|
</code>
