FAQs
What is the purpose of the Intel AI Boost NPU?
The Neural Processing Unit (NPU), or Intel AI Boost, is designed to accelerate AI tasks directly on the device, improving performance and efficiency for AI-powered features in applications like Windows Studio effects, without relying heavily on the CPU or GPU.
Can I upgrade the RAM?
Yes, the Dell Pro Micro QCM1250 has 2x SO-DIMM memory slots. It comes with 1x 16 GB module and can be upgraded up to a maximum of 64 GB (though checking specific compatibility with higher capacity modules is recommended).
Can I add a second storage drive?
The chassis is designed for a single SSD. While there isn't a second internal bay for another drive, you can utilize the USB ports for external storage solutions.
Does this PC support multiple monitors?
The QCM1250 features one DisplayPort 1.4a and one HDMI 2.1 port, allowing for dual-monitor setups. Ensure your monitors and cables are compatible.
What is the warranty period?
Warranty information can vary. Please refer to your purchase documentation or Dell's official support website for the specific warranty details applicable to your product.
How quiet is this Mini PC?
Mini PCs are generally designed to be quiet. The actual noise level will depend on the workload and fan speed, but it is engineered for a quiet operating environment typical of office use.
Is this PC suitable for gaming?
This PC is primarily designed for business and productivity tasks. While it can run some less demanding games, the integrated Intel Graphics are not optimized for modern, graphics-intensive gaming.
Troubleshooting
Computer does not power on
Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the PC and a working power outlet. Verify the power outlet is functional by testing it with another device.

Confirm the monitor is powered on and connected correctly to the PC's DisplayPort. Try a different DisplayPort cable or monitor to rule out hardware issues.
Slow performance or freezing
Close unnecessary applications and browser tabs. Restart the computer. Ensure Windows and all drivers are up to date. Check for any background processes consuming excessive resources via Task Manager.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth not connecting
Check that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled in Windows settings. Restart the computer. Ensure the latest wireless drivers are installed via Windows Update or the Dell support website.
Audio issues (no sound or poor quality)
