The
Dell OpenManage Server Assistant
CD provides important system utilities and
documentation that you need to configure and maintain your system. The CD has an
easy-to-use graphical user interface that enables you to quickly navigate to any data
on the CD that you need. In addition, you are given a choice of several languages in
which to view and use the CD interface.
The
Dell OpenManage Server Assistant
CD makes system setup and configuration as
convenient as possible with clear, on-screen instructions and a number of automated
configuration utilities. In addition to the setup utilities, the CD allows you to create
blank formatted diskettes as well as diskettes of system utilities and operating sys-
tem-specific drivers. You can also use the CD to re-create the utility partition on the
hard-disk drive of your system if the existing utility partition ever becomes unusable or
gets deleted from your system.
You can access the online system documents, as well as other information, on any
desktop or server system that has a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or
Netscape Navigator. When you put the CD in a system running the Microsoft
Windows
®
95 operating system or Microsoft Windows NT, the system automatically
starts the browser software and displays the documentation welcome page. The
documents can either be viewed online or printed on a printer for hardcopy viewing.
Also, if you have access to the Internet, the CD contains several useful and informa-
tive links to external Internet Web sites to provide you with up-to-date information and
downloadable system files.

The utility partition is a bootable partition on the hard-disk drive that provides some of
the functions available on the
Dell OpenManage Server Assistant
CD. Most of the
applications found on the CD are contained in the utility partition, occupying approxi-
mately 10 megabytes (MB) of space on the systems hard-disk drive. When
implemented, the partition boots and provides an executable environment for the par-
titions utilities. When the partition is not implemented, it is designated as a
nonMS-DOS
®
partition.
NOTE: The utility partition provides only limited MS-DOS functionality and cannot be
used as a general-purpose MS-DOS partition.
Dell has installed the utility partition on your hard-disk drive; however, reinstalling the
utility partition and/or its contents may be necessary if the version installed by Dell
becomes damaged or is removed from the hard-disk drive. You can reinstall the utility
partition and/or its contents using the
Dell OpenManage Server Assistant
CD.
To start the utility partition, press the <F10> key during power-on self-test (POST).
Like the
Dell OpenManage Server Assistant
CD, the utility partition provides a menu-
driven interface from which you invoke the partitions utilities. Selections can be made
