To create the diagnostics diskette from a Windows client system or a DOS shell win-
dow, perform the following steps:
1.
Use the RaWrite utility to extract the diagnostics boot diskette software and copy 
it to the diskette.
If you do not already have this utility on your system, it is on the CD in the 
<drive>:\utils\Rawrite directory where drive is the CD-ROM drive.
2. Insert the CD in the Windows client system CD-ROM drive.
3. Insert a blank, write-enabled diskette into the Windows client diskette drive. 
Label the diskette "System Diagnostics Diskette".
4. Open the RaWrite folder and double-click the Rawrite.exe file.
The RaWrite utility starts and prompts you for an image source file.
5. Enter the name used for the image file (for example, boot1 for boot diskette 1 or 
boot2 for boot diskette 2).
The utility prompts you for a target diskette drive.
6. Enter the drive letter for the formatted diskette that will be the system diagnos-
tics diskette.
The status of the operation is displayed. When the operation is done, continue to 
the next step.
7.
Remove the diskette from the drive and write-protect the diskette.

To create the diagnostics diskette from a UNIX client, perform the following steps:
1.
Insert the CD in the UNIX client CD-ROM drive.
2. Mount the CD (some UNIX clients do this automatically when the CD is inserted 
into the drive; others require that you use the 
mount
 command).
3. Insert a blank, write-enabled diskette into the UNIX client diskette drive (in this 
procedure, it is assumed that the CD is mounted at /cdrom). Label the diskette 
"System Diagnostics Diskette" and include the filer name and model on this label.
4. Copy the boot diskette 1 image to the diskette using the GG command. For 
example,
