The system hardware diagnostics are described in "Running the Dell Diagnostics" in
your
Installation and Troubleshooting Guide .
The Asset Tag utility allows you to enter an asset tag number for your system.
NOTE: The Asset Tag utility works only on systems running MS-DOS.
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.
2. Insert the diskette into the diskette drive and reboot the system.
NOTE: The Asset Tag utility diskette contains CD-ROM drivers that provide access to
the CD-ROM drive when you boot from the diskette.
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.
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.
To delete the asset tag number without assigning a new one, type
asset /d
and
press <Enter>.
