Using the Dell Server Assistant CD
This chapter describes the bootable Dell Server Assis-
tant CD and tells you how to use the utilities, diagnostics,
documentation, drivers, and other items included on the
CD. This chapter also describes how to install the video
drivers for supported operating systems and how to use

Booting the CD
The system must be running to insert the CD. To boot
the CD, insert it into the PowerEdge 4100 system’s

category must be set to ENABLED and the BOOT
SEQUENCE category must be set to A:THEN C: (see
Chapter 4, “Using the System Setup Program”).
• In the SCSISelect Utility, the BIOS SUPPORT FOR
BOOTABLE CD-ROM category must be set to
ENABLED (see Chapter 3, “Installing and Configur-
ing SCSI Drivers”).

ries, each of which has one or more options. The
