Acquiring the asset.com Utility The asset.com utility is not located in the Service Mode section of the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD. To acquire this utility, use the Server Assistant CD to create a bootable diskette; the utility is then automatically created on that diskette. The asset.com utility will be available in the Service Mode section in future releases of the Server Assistant CD.
