Asset Tag Utility

The Asset Tag utility allows you to enter an asset tag number for your system.

Using the Asset Tag Utility

To create the Asset Tag utility diskette and boot the system, perform the following steps:

1. If you have not already done so, create a bootable Asset Tag Utilities with CD-ROM diskette from the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant

CD using the Create Diskettes option under Setup.

2. Insert the diskette into the diskette drive and reboot the system.

After you boot the system with the Asset Tag utility diskette, you can use the Asset Tag utility to enter an asset tag number that you or your
organization assigns to the system. You can also use the Asset Tag utility to reenter the system's service tag number if that becomes necessary.

Assigning and Deleting an Asset Tag Number

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, perform the following steps:

1. Perform the steps in "

Using the Asset Tag Utility

."

2. Type asset and a space followed by the new number.


For example, type the following command:

asset 1234567890

3. Press <Enter>.

4. When you are 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.

NOTE: The Asset Tag utility works only on systems running MS-DOS.

NOTE: The Asset Tag utility diskette contains CD-ROM drivers that provide access to the CD-ROM drive when you boot from the
diskette.
