Downloading DTK
This section describes some of the procedures necessary to begin the deployment process, including:
•Downloading and unzipping the Deployment Toolkit (DTK) components, including a comprehensive matrix of DTK components.
•Setting up a directory structure to facilitate a successful deployment, including a list of the supporting components that are not included with DTK, but are needed to use DTK.
•Setting up an optimally configured source system.
•Configuring supported RAID controllers.
Extracting DTK Components On Systems Running Windows
DTK components are provided in a self-extracting zip file at support.dell.com. The self-extracting file can be opened on any system running Microsoft Windows operating system. By default, DTKX.XWINPE- XX.exe files are extracted to the root directory of your local hard drive, C:\. You can change this location by giving a different path when extracting the files, but it is recommended that you keep the DTK default directory structure if you plan to use the sample deployment scripts provided with DTK.
1.Download the DTK file DTKX.X-WINPE-XX.exe from support.dell.com and save it on your system.
2.After the file downloads, double-click the file. The Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit for WindowsPE screen containing the product and download information appears.
3.Click OK.
