 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:

NOTE:
The utility partition provides only limited MS-DOS® functionality and cannot be used as a general-purpose MS-DOS partition.
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.
