Using the Dell OpenManage Server AssistantCD:Dell™PowerEdge™6400Systems
User's Guide
Overview
The Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD contains utilities, diagnostics, documentation, drivers, and other items that can help you configure a
PowerEdge 6400 system to best meet your needs. Some of the functions available on the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD are also
available on a bootable utility partition that is installed on your hard-diskdrive.ThissectiondescribeshowtousetheDell OpenManage Server
Assistant CD. It also describes the utility partition and its options and provides instructions for reinstalling the partition (if necessary).
Starting the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD
TheDellOpenManage™ServerAssistant application program has two modes of operation: a setup mode for setting up and configuring the
PowerEdge6400system,creatingdiskettes,andviewinginformationanddocuments,andaservice mode for creating diskettes and viewing
information and documents.
In both setup mode and service mode, the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant main page gives you the option to choose one of the supported
languages as the language for the screen text and online documentation. You can choose a language at any time from the main screen.
Setup Mode
To set up your system, as well as access the utilities, drivers, and other items available on the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD, insert the
Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD into your CD- ROM drive, and turn on or reboot the system. The Dell OpenManage Server Assistant
main page appears.
If the CD does not boot, verify that the Boot Device Priority is set to CD-ROM Drive in the System Setup program.
Service Mode
You can access the online system documents, system setup instructions, frequently asked questions, and server product information on any
system that has Microsoft®Internet Explorer 4.0 (or later). When you insert the CD in a system that uses the Microsoft Windows NT®operating
system, the system automatically starts the browser software and displays the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant main page.
Navigating the CD
The Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD utilizes a standard Web browser interface. Navigating the CD is accomplished by clicking the mouse
on the various icons and text hyperlinks.
Click the Back icon to return to the previous page. Click the Exit icon to exit the program. Exiting the program causes the system to reboot to the
standard operating- system boot partition.
Using the Setup Modes
If you purchase a system that does not have an operating system preinstalled by Dell, or if you reinstall an operating system at a later date, you
should use either the Express Setup or Custom Setup option to configure your system.
Express Setup
Dell recommends Express Setup for most situations. The Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD guides you through the operating system
setup and configuration process. If a Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller host adapter is installed, the Dell redundant arrays of
independent disks (RAID) utility configures the drives. If the drive does not have a utility partition, one is created. The program prompts you to
select the operating system used on the drive and leads you through a step- - by step process to install the operating system.
To start Express Setup, perform the following steps:
1. Click the SETUP icon at the top of the screen.

2. Click Express Setup.
After you start Express Setup Express Setup,followthedirectionsonthescreentocompletetheinstallationandconfigurationprocess.The
mode takes you through the following tasks:
l Creating an Express Setup diskette
l Entering operating system and hard- disk drive information
l Entering operating system configuration
l Performing setup
Custom Setup
Use Custom Setup if your system has special configuration requirements.
To start Custom Setup, perform the following steps:
1. Click the SETUP icon at the top of the screen.
2. Click Custom Setup. Follow the directions on the screen to complete the installation and configuration process.
Utility Partition
The utility partition is a bootable partition on the hard-disk drive that provides some of the functions available on the Dell OpenManage Server
Assistant CD. Most of the application programs found on the CD are contained in the utility partition. When implemented, the partition boots and
provides an executable environment for the partition's utilities. When the utility partition is not booted, it is designated as a non–MS-DOS®
partition.
To start the utility partition, turn on or reboot the system. During the power- - on self test (POST), the following message appears:
Press <F10> to enter Utility Mode
The utility partition provides a text-based interface from which you invoke the partition's utilities. Menu options and the associated help are
displayed in the currently selected language (specified via a menu option). To select a menu option, you can either use the arrow keys to highlight
the option and press <Enter>, or type the number of the menu option. To return to the previous menu, press <Esc> or select the Back menu option.
To exit the utility partition, press <Esc> from the Main Menu. Exiting the utility from setup mode causes the system to reboot to the standard
operating- system boot partition.
Table 1 provides a sample list and explanation of the options that appear on the utility partition menu even when the Dell OpenManage Server
Assistant CD is not in the CD- ROM drive. The options displayed on your system may vary depending on the configuration.
Table 1.UtilityPartitionMainMenuOptions
NOTE: The utility partition provides only limited MS- -DOS functionality and cannot be used as a general purpose MS-DOS partition.
NOTE: Although most options are available from both the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD and the utility partition, some options
or features, such as those for accessing online documentation, are available only from the CD.
