Create EISA Configuration Utility Diskette
This option allows you to create a bootable EISA Config-
uration Utility diskette (or diskettes). Dell recommends
running the EISA Configuration Utility from a diskette
so you can copy your configuration information to the
diskette any time you change system configuration
parameters.
Create System Utility Diskette
This option allows you to copy the asset tag utility from
the CD to a bootable diskette. For instructions on running
the asset tag utility, see "Asset Tag Utility" found later in
this chapter.
Create Operating System Support
Diskettes
This option allows you to create a diskette that contains
the software drivers for a specific operating system. You
can create a diskette of drivers for one of the following
supported operating systems:
Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
Novell NetWare 4.x (and 4.1 SMP)
Novell NetWare 3.12
Drivers available on the CD include:
Video drivers
Small computer system interface (SCSI) drivers
Network interface controller (NIC) drivers
NOTE: The Novell NetWare operating system does
not use video drivers, so they are not included when
you create a diskette of drivers for NetWare.
The following subsections describe the options available
in this category.
Create Windows NT Server 3.51 Diskettes
This option allows you to create a driver diskette for use
with Windows NT Server 3.51.
Create Driver Diskette
This option allows you to create a diskette that contains
video, SCSI, and NIC drivers for the Windows NT Ser-
ver 3.51 operating system.

drivers provided with the operating system.
Create NetWare 4.x Diskettes
This option allows you to create a driver diskette and an
Adaptec EZ-SCSI configuration utility diskette for use
with the Novell NetWare 4.x operating system. The fol-
lowing subsections describe the choices available with
this option.

Ware 4.x operating system.
