This chapter describes the bootable
Dell Server Assistant CD and tells you how to use
the utilities, diagnostics, documentation, drivers, and other items included on the CD.
Most of the functions available on the
Dell Server Assistant CD are also available
using a bootable utility partition that is installed on your hard-disk drive. This chapter
describes the utility partition and provides instructions for reinstalling the partition (if
necessary) and information about using the utility partition menu.

If the CD does not boot, check the following settings:

tings are the defaults for their respective categories). See Chapter 4, “Using the
