Assuming your dell is the same as this one reviewed by PC magazine in 2001 it needs an IDE (a.k.a. "PATA") drive. It's old enough it may not recognize larger drives. You may have have to track down a 40 or possibly 80 gig IDE drive some where (eBay maybe?). In my experience people don't want them so you can probably get them rather cheap.
You would need to unscrew the thumbscrew located on the right side of the rear panel, press top and bottom cover release tabs and pull the cover toward you. To replace, perform the steps in reverse.
dell poweredge servers are not needed for sound. DELL support will not support any sound cards or care anything about your audio issues. You will not find audio drivers because again, a server's purpose has nothing to do with audio.
Go into sound properties in "Control panel" and click on "sounds and audio devices" or similar.
Click on "audio" and make sure all boxes are normal not greyed out. If greyed out you need to re-install driver. If all there, check volume control is set correctly.
opening the case u have to see that the power supply is facing you when you lay it down.....check some PC case does not have screws, but levers that helps to remove cover...but if their is a screw associated remove them all then slide case back towards you and lift.
Check BIOS settings for any "boot sector protection" or similar. If this kind of protection is enabled, Setup will not be able to write needed startup files to the disk

No drivers for your soundcard, this is a computer issue not a speaker issue, contact dell, if you can understand a word they say, ask them "I have Dimension (model number here), I need to know how to install my sound drivers", if you dont know how to do this.
I cannot seem to find one...any ideas wherew I can get one ?
