Using the Utility Partition



The utility partition is a bootable partition on the hard drive that contains system configuration and diagnostic utilities. When you start the utility partition, it

boots and provides an executable environment for the partition's utilities.



To start the utility partition, turn on or reboot the system. During POST, press <F10> after the following message appears:



<F10> = Utility Mode



The utility partition provides a text-based interface from which you can run the partition's utilities. To select a menu option, use either the arrow keys to

highlight the option and press <Enter> or type the number of the menu option. To exit the utility partition, press <Esc> from the Utility Partition main menu.



Table2-1 provides a sample list and explanation of the options that appear on the utility partition menu. These options are available even when the Server

Assistant CD is not in the CD drive.
