Asset Tag Utility

The Asset Tag utility allows you to enter an asset tag number for your computer and reenter, if necessary, the computer's service tag number. Both numbers are entered into NVRAM, from which they become viewable on the System Setup screens.
The procedure for installing the Asset Tag utility is the same as for all the system utilities. If the path statement in your autoexec.bat file does not contain the directory in which you installed the Asset Tag utility, modify the path statement to include that directory.
Using the Asset Tag Utility
After you install the Asset Tag utility, you can use it to enter or change an asset tag number that you or your company assign to the computer.
Use the asset command from the system prompt. To view existing asset and service tag numbers, type

asset

and press <ENTER>.
Assigning/Deleting an Asset Tag Number
An asset tag number can have up to 10 characters; any combination of characters excluding spaces is valid. To assign or change an asset tag number, type

asset

and then a space followed by the new number; then press <ENTER>. For example:

asset 1234567890 

<ENTER> When the system asks ...

Are you sure? [y,n],

type

y 

and press <ENTER>. The system then displays the new or modified asset tag number as well as the service tag number.
To delete the asset tag number without assigning a new one, type

asset /d

.

Reentering a Service Tag Number

Before your system was shipped, the 5-digit number from the service tag on the back of your computer was entered into NVRAM. If you need to reenter the service tag number, type

asset /s

and then a space followed by the service tag number.
