diskettes.

Create Utility Diskettes

This option allows you to create bootable utility diskettes
for running the EISA Configuration Utility, the Power-

and the asset tag utility. The following subsections
describe the choices available with this option.
Create EISA Configuration Utility Diskette
This option allows you to create a bootable EISA Config-
uration Utility diskette (or diskettes). Dell recommends
running the EISA Configuration Utility from a diskette
so you can copy your configuration information to the
diskette any time you change system configuration
parameters.

This option allows you to copy the configuration utility
for the optional PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller
from the CD to a bootable diskette.

the CD to a bootable diskette. For instructions on running
the asset tag utility, see "Asset Tag Utility" found later in

Create Operating System Support

This option allows you to create a diskette that contains
the software drivers for a specific operating system. You
can create a diskette of drivers for one of the following

Small computer system interface (SCSI) drivers
•
RAID drivers (for the optional PowerEdge Expand-

NOTE: The Novell NetWare operating system does

you create a diskette of drivers for NetWare.
The following subsections describe the options available
in this category.
