Hi,

I'm looking at building a Dell server, but should I create my own
bootable CD with latest SPs, patches and their drivers, or should I use
their "Server Assistant" CD?

Either way will work, but the Assistant CD will be
quicker since it automates creating your diagnostic
partition, your RAID containers, installing RAID drivers,
and installing Dell OpenManage.

I prefer to use the Assistant CD because it makes my job
of documentating the deployment easier. I can "assume" a
successful vendor install and then document from there.
This way the docs work for a preinstalled or freshly
installed OS.
