Configuring Your Managed System 19
Installation and Setup
NOTE: See the Deployment Toolkit Version 1.3 User’s Guide for additional information about installing
and using the DTK utilities, and the Deployment Toolkit Version 1.3 Command Line Interface Reference
Guide for a complete list of all valid options, suboptions, and arguments for using the BMCCFG.EXE to
configure and manage your BMC.
The DTK components are provided as a self-extracting zip file on the Dell Support website at
support.dell.com . The self-extracting file can be opened on any system running a Microsoft
®
Windows
®
operating system, or it can be extracted in DOS using the PKUNZIP.EXE utility (not
supplied with the DTK). By default, the
dtk-1. 3 -dos-A XX .exe files are extracted to the root
directory of your local hard drive,
C:\ . This location can be changed by giving a different path when
extracting the file. Perform the following steps to extract the DTK components to a workstation
running Windows:
1 Download the DTK file dtk-1. 3 -dos-A XX .exe from the Dell Support website at
support.dell.com and save it anywhere on a system running a supported Windows operating
system.
2 After the zip file is downloaded, double-click the file.
3 Click OK .
4 Click Unzip .
By default, the DTK files are unzipped to
C:\Dell\Toolkit . The BMCCFG.EXE utility is
located in the
C:\Dell\Toolkit\Tools directory.
Creating a Bootable Diskette or CD
Use the following guidelines to create bootable media that can be used to configure the BMC on a
managed system:
The bootable diskette image must contain, at a minimum, a command parser
(
COMMAND.COM ), a configuration file ( CONFIG.SYS ), an initial start-up script
(
AUTOEXEC.BAT ), and the appropriate CD drive and network drivers (for a CD only).
NOTE: The DTK utilities support MS-DOS
®
version 6.22 and later; however, MS-DOS version 7.1 or later
is recommended.
1
Boot your system in DOS.
2 Insert a blank 1.44-MB diskette in the system’s diskette drive.
3 Ty p e cd\dos to get to the DOS directory.
4 Ty p e Format A:/S to format the diskette and then transfer the files that make the
diskette bootable.
