The RCU is included on the
Dell OpenManage Server Assistant
CD shipped with your
system.
You can run the RCU directly from the CD or from a diskette that you create using the
CDs main menu. Dell recommends that you run the RCU from a diskette because it is
not compatible with all operating systems. Also, using a diskette to run the utility
allows you to copy any system configuration changes to the diskette for safekeeping.
Refer to the
Dell OpenManage Server Assistant
CD to create the RCU diskette.

the same resources. See Locking and Unlocking Cards found later in this chapter
for details.
NOTE: If your system detects a card configuration problem during operation, you
receive a warning message directing you to run the RCU to correct the problem.

If you are running the RCU from your hard-disk drive, remove any terminate-and-stay-
