2-18 Dell PowerEdge 2100/180 and 2100/200 Systems User’s Guide
Create Driver Diskette
This option allows you to create a diskette that contains
SCSI and NIC drivers for the Novell NetWare 3.12 oper-
ating system.
NOTE: Be sure to use the SCSI Driver diskettes created
from the Dell Server Assistant CD rather than the SCSI
drivers provided with the operating system.
Create Adaptec EZ-SCSI Diskette
This option allows you to create a diskette that contains
the configuration utility for Adaptec SCSI controllers.
The configuration utility works with the optional
Adaptec AHA-2940UW and the built-in Adaptec 78xx
series SCSI controllers when used with the Novell Net-
Ware 3.12 operating system.
Video Drivers
You will need to install the video drivers for the operating
system you install on your PowerEdge 2100 system,
unless they were installed by Dell. Use the following pro-
cedure to install the video drivers for Windows NT.
NetWare provides a textual interface and does not require
video drivers.
Installing Video Drivers for
Windows NT 3.51
See “Create Operating System Support Diskettes” found
earlier in this chapter for instructions on making a dis-
kette of software drivers for Windows NT 3.51. After you
make the diskette of drivers, use the following procedure
to install the video drivers:
1. Insert the diskette of drivers into the diskette
drive on your system.
2. Run the Windows NT Display program located in
the Control Panel in the Main group.
3. Select Change Display Type.
4. Select Change from the display options; then
select Other.
5. When prompted for the correct path, type
a:\ATI and press <Enter>.
If the diskette is not in drive A, change the drive let-
ter designation as appropriate.
After the system reads the diskette, it displays the
ATI Graphics Accelerators option.
6. Select the ATI Graphics Accelerators option;
then click Install.
Confirm your choice when prompted to do so, and
all appropriate files will be copied to the hard-disk
drive.
7. Restart Windows NT.
The system will start up using the ATI mach64 driv-
ers in 640 x 480 mode and display an application that
allows you to choose a resolution.
The maximum resolutions supported by the built-in
ATI mach 64 video controller with 1 MB of video
memory are 640 x 480 pixels (16.7 million colors)
and 800 x 600 pixels (65,536 colors) (non-
interlaced); and 1024 x 768 pixels (256 colors)
(interlaced).
NOTE: If you select a resolution that is not sup-
ported by the ATI mach64 (264VT) video controller
with 1 MB of memory, the operating system will sub-
stitute 640 x 480 in 256 colors.
Asset Tag Utility
The Asset Tag utility allows you to enter an asset tag
number for your computer. The default System Setup
screens (see Figure 4-1, for example) do not show the
asset tag number unless you enter one using this utility.
NOTE: The Asset Tag utility works only on systems run-
ning MS-DOS®.
