A
sset Tag Utility
The Asset Tag utility allows you to enter an asset tag
number for your computer. The default System Setup
screens (see Figure 4-1, for example) do not show the
asset tag number unless you enter one using this utility.
NOTE: The Asset Tag utility works only on systems run-
®
ning MS-DOS .

Using the Asset Tag Utility

Use the following procedure to create a system utility
diskette and boot the system:
1. If you have not already done so, create a bootable
system utility diskette from the CD.
2. Insert the diskette in drive A, and reboot the
system.
After you boot the system with the system utility dis-
kette, you can use the Asset Tag utility to enter an
asset tag number that you or your organization
assign to the computer. You can also use the Asset
Tag utility to reenter the computer's service tag num-
ber if that becomes necessary.
You can view the asset tag number using the System
Setup program as described in Chapter 4, "Using the
System Setup Program."

< >:
ENTER
asset 1234567890

one, type asset /d and press <
