system; and to install Dell OpenManage™ systems management software.
NOTE: If your system does not have a Dell Systems Service and Diagnostics Tools
CD, obtain the latest drivers from the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.
For complete information about using the Systems Build and Update Utility
and Systems Service and Diagnostics Tools CDs, see the Dell OpenManage
Software Quick Installation Guide, which is available from the Dell Support
website at support.dell.com.

PowerEdge 1850, put all necessary files in the Z:\Dell\Toolkit\Systems\pe1850
directory; or if your target system is a PowerEdge 850, put all necessary files in
the Z:\Dell\Toolkit\Systems\pe0850 directory.

After you have successfully prepared your directory structure for a deployment
and fully configured your source system, you are ready to write, review, or edit
