3. Set up a

Source System

by using the Systems Build and Update Utility on the

Dell Systems Management Tools and

Documentation

DVD (to install your operating system) and the Systems Service and Diagnostics Tools (to load

drivers).

NOTE: You can also download the latest drivers from the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.

4. Generate a system BIOS, BMC, RAID, and/or RAC/iDRAC configuration profile from the optimally configured source

system. Copy the generated configuration files to a read/write share onto the workstation or server.

NOTE: You can obtain the system BIOS, BMC, RAID, and/or RAC/iDRAC configuration files by booting from

DTK Linux ISO image and running the syscap.sh, raidcap.sh, and raccap.sh scripts.

5. Create an operating system answer file that contains unattended operating system software installation

information.

6. Install an operating system on a

Deployment

To proceed with deployment, ensure that you have prepared all scripts, files, and utilities. You can deploy the Windows

PE and embedded Linux using one of the following methods:

• Deploy using removable boot media with a network connection (media-based)

• Deploy using removable boot media without a network connection (media-based)

• Network-based deployment (remote)

For information on these methods, see the

Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit User’s Guide

available at dell.com/

support/manuals.

Upgrading Your DTK Version

When upgrading from a previous release of DTK, ensure that you create the environment for new DTK version

separately from the previous version. This step is necessary because the environments and requirements for the new

DTK versions are completely different.
