Using the Asset Tag Utility

Use the following procedure to create a system utility diskette and boot the system:

1.If you have not already done so, create a bootable system utility diskette from the CD.

2.Insert the diskette in drive A, and reboot the system.

After you boot the system with the system utility dis- kette, you can use the Asset Tag utility to enter an asset tag number that you or your organization assign to the computer. You can also use the Asset Tag utility to reenter the computer’s service tag num- ber if that becomes necessary.

You can view the asset tag number using the System Setup program as described in Chapter 4, “Using the System Setup Program.”

Assigning and Deleting an Asset Tag Number

An asset tag number can have up to ten characters; any combination of characters, excluding spaces, is valid. To assign or change an asset tag number, type asset and a space followed by the new number; then press <Enter>. For example, type the following command line and press <Enter>:

asset 1234567890

When prompted to verify the asset tag number, type y and press <Enter>. The system then displays the new or modified asset tag number and the service tag number.

To delete the asset tag number without assigning a new one, type asset /d and press <Enter>.

Table 2-1 lists the command line options you can use with the Asset Tag utility. To use one of these options, type asset and a space followed by the option.
