default System Setup screens (see Figure 3-1) do not show the asset tag number
unless you enter one using this utility.
NOTE: The Asset Tag utility does not function correctly under Windows NT,
Windows 95, or Windows 98. However, you may be able to run the utility in
Windows NT by booting from a DOS diskette or diagnostics diskette, exiting to the
DOS prompt, and then entering the
asset
command on the DOS command line.
You can use the Asset Tag utility to enter an asset tag number that you or your
company assign to the computer.
You can also use the Asset Tag utility to enter an owner tag that appears in the
system sign-on screen.
Use the asset command from an MS-DOS prompt. To view existing asset tag and
