Create Utility Diskettes: Create RAID Configuration Utility Diskette Creates a bootable diskette for running the Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller configuration utility (if the controller card is present on your system). The RAID configuration utility provides an alternative method for configuring the card. Create Diagnostics Diskette Creates a bootable diskette from which the hardware diagnostics can be run. Create System utility Creates a bootable diskette from which utilities, Diskette such as the Asset Tag utility, can be run. NOTE: For the full name of an abbreviation or acronym used in this table, see the Glossary. NOTE: The options displayed on your system are dependent on your system configuration and may not include all of those listed here. The system diagnostics can be run from the utility partition or from a diskette, but not from the Dell Server Assistant CD. From the Utility Partition menu, select Run System Utilities and then select Run System Diagnostics. To run the diagnostics from a diskette, select Create Diagnostics Diskette from the Utility Partition menu. Before running the diagnostics, you should make a blank diskette and insert it in the diskette drive so the diagnostics programs can record critical messages and information as necessary. Use the Create Blank Formatted Diskette option to create a formatted diskette. The system hardware diagnostics are described in Chapter 5, "Running the Dell Diagnostics," of the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide. NOTES: The ATI video for the Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 operating system must be set up with a resolution of 640 x 480 at installation. Windows NT Server 4.0 Service Pack 3 must be installed to use the updated drivers for ATI video. You need to install the video drivers for the operating system you install on your PowerEdge 6350 system, unless they were installed by Dell. Use the following procedure to install the video drivers for Windows NT Server 4.0. The Novell NetWare operating system provides a textual interface and does not require video drivers. 2-4 Dell PowerEdge 6350 Systems User's Guide
