You can use the Asset Tag utility to enter an asset tag number that you or your com-
pany assign to the computer; you can also use it to reenter the computer’s service tag
number if that becomes necessary.
Use the asset command from an MS-DOS prompt. To view existing asset tag and ser-
vice tag numbers, type asset and press <Enter>. (You can also view the asset tag
number by using the System Setup program described in Chapter 3.) To display the
Asset Tag utility help screen, type asset /? and press <Enter>.
An asset tag number can have up to ten characters; any combination of characters
excluding spaces is valid. To assign or change an asset tag number, type asset and a
space followed by the new number; then press <Enter>. For example, type the fol-
lowing command line and press <Enter>:
asset 1234$ABCD&
When prompted to verify the asset tag number, type y and press <Enter>. The system
then displays the new or modified asset tag number and the service tag number.
To delete the asset tag number without assigning a new one, type asset /d and
press <Enter>.
You can use the Asset Tag Utility to assign an owner tag that will be displayed on the
Dell logo screen whenever you boot your system.
An owner tag can be up to 80 characters; any combination of letters, numbers, and
spaces is valid. To assign an owner tag, type asset /o and a space followed by the
new owner tag; then press <Enter>. For example, type the following command line
and press <Enter>:
asset /o ABC Company
When prompted to verify the owner tag, type y and press <Enter>. The system then
displays the new owner tag.
To delete the owner tag without assigning a new one, type asset /o /d and press
<Enter>.

The Dell AutoShutdown service (available with the Windows NT 4.0 operating sys-
tems) provides the ability to perform an orderly system shutdown when the power
button is pressed.
The power button operates in two modes: immediate and AutoShutdown mode.
When the system is off, the power button always acts in immediate mode—that is,
when the button is pressed, the system starts up immediately.
