SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-------------------------

The Flimage application is designed to work with Microsoft Windows 2000, 
Microsoft Windows XP, and Microsoft Windows 2003. It requires a 3.5" 
1.44MB floppy disk drive.

-------------------------
BASIC DESCRIPTION
-------------------------

Flimage is a command line utility application that is used to create a binary
image of a 1.44MB floppy disk for use with the virtual floppy feature of the
Lights-Out 100 Remote Management Card. The floppy image is stored as 80
sequentially numbered binary files starting with 0. Each file represents the
contents of the corresponding cylinder from the floppy disk.

Usage:

1.  Get to a command prompt by clicking on the operating system "start" button
2.  Click on "run"
3.  Type cmd and hit the "OK" button
4.  Flimage uses these command line options:

  flimage -d [Drv] -p [Path] -o cyl [-r]
     [Drv] is the 1.44MB floppy drive letter. The default drive is A.
     [Path] is the drive/directory for the binary files. The default path is
            the current directory (*.*).
     [-r] Reverses the copy. Eighty files are copied from the path to 
          the drive. The floppy disk must be formatted for this function to
          work correctly.
        
  Note that the "-o cyl" parameter must be included exactly as shown in the
  examples for the utility to work correctly.

Examples:

C:\>flimage -d A -p c:\f_image -o cyl
   This generates 80 files c:\f_image\cyl_00.bin thru c:\f_image\cyl_79.bin

C:\>flimage -d A -p c:\f_image -o cyl -r
   This copies 80 files c:\f_image\cyl_00.bin thru c:\f_image\cyl_79.bin to 
   Drive A.

5.  When flimage is complete, type exit to exit from the command prompt.
