Configuring the Utility Partition
Configuring the Utility Partition
If you want to configure the Utility Partition but do not use TopTools (see page 28)
then you must use the Utility Partition Manager.
Utility Partition Manager
The Utility Partition Manager is a compact stand-alone utility distributed on the
support web. It is for use on a single PC at a time, but can be useful at an early
stage when deploying your PCs and also in creating your software Gold Image. It is
intended for use by IT/MIS personnel.
The UPM can configure two items:
The Welcome Message can be shown or hidden (but not changed). If the
•
message is hidden, the text is replaced by 'marching dots' to indicate PC activity.
The Time-out value, used for the Welcome message or marching dots, can be set
•
between 3 and 10 seconds.
Utility Partition Startup
The Utility Partition startup parameters, including the text of the Welcome
Message in two strings, are stored in the Utility Partition configuration file
(see "Default Settings for INI files" on page 12).
