Introduction Dell Client Configuration Toolkit (CCTK) is a packaged software offering that provides configuration capability to Dell business client platforms – OptiPlex, Latitude, and Dell Precision workstation. This product consists of a Command Line Interface (CLI) and Graphical User Interface (GUI) to configure various BIOS features.
– sysdefaults – primarybatterycfg – batteryslicecfg – modulebaybatterycfg NOTE: The Battery Management options are BIOS dependent. Upgrade the BIOS to the appropriate version for configuring the Battery Management options. • Support for the following features: – Additional argument, selectdays, for the autoon option to automatically turn on the system on specified days. – Tooltip for GUI elements.
Command Line Interface 2 This chapter documents a general overview of the Dell Command Line Interface (CLI) utility. It explains how to run the commands and the syntax details of the command line options used to configure BIOS settings for the client systems. Running CCTK Commands You can run the CCTK commands in two ways: • Using Command Prompt • Using Bootable Image Using Command Prompt To run CCTK commands: 1 Click Start Program Files Dell CCTKCCTK Command Prompt.
4 Run the CCTK commands. For more details on CCTK commands, see Client Configuration Toolkit Options. Command Syntax Overview Syntax refers to the way a command and its parameters are entered. CLI commands can be arranged in any order in a command line instance as long as they conform to the basic command line syntax. Command Line Syntax The general usage models of the CCTK utilities are as follows: CCTK --option1=[arg1] or cctk --option1=[arg1]...
Element Description [mandatory option] Indicates the generic designation for a mandatory argument. Indicates the generic designation for a string. Indicates the generic designation for a filename. [] Indicates a component of the command line. Enter only the information within the brackets and exclude the brackets. ... Indicates that the previous argument can be repeated several times in a command. Enter only the information within the ellipses and exclude the ellipses.
Valid or Invalid CCTK Command Line Example valid cctk -o=filename --option1 --option2 cctk -o=/tmp/myfile.txt --mem --sysname or or cctk -o filename --option1 --option2 cctk -o /tmp/myfile.txt --mem --sysname cctk -l=filename --option1 --option2 cctk -l=/tmp/myfile.txt --mem --sysname or or cctk -l filename --option1 --option2 cctk -l /tmp/myfile.txt --mem --sysname cctk -i=filename --option1 --option2 cctk -i=/tmp/myfile.
File Input and Output Commands Specify the input file using the -i= command, where is the name of the input file. Specify the output file input using the – o= command, where is the name of the output file. Log Files The -l= or --logfile= option records information output on the command line to the specified log file. If the log file already exists, information is appended to the file.

3 Client Configuration Toolkit Options This chapter provides an overview of the Dell Client Configuration Toolkit (CCTK) options. It describes the general and BIOS options to configure settings for the client systems. CCTK options can be divided into: • General options — applicable to all systems • BIOS options — applicable only if the BIOS of the system supports.
Description Without an argument, this option displays general usage information for the utility. If the argument matches a valid option, the usage information of the option is displayed. If the option has arguments, the arguments are displayed, separated by a | character. If the argument is supported on the system, a + symbol is displayed with the argument. If the option has suboptions, all suboptions, valid arguments, and a description are listed.
bootorder=legacytype,+pcmcia,+hdd.1,-floppy,+cdrom,hdd.2,+nic.1,-hdd.3,+nic.2 A plus (+) symbol with the device name indicates that the device is enabled and a minus (-) symbol indicates that the device is disabled. You can enable or disable the devices by changing the symbol displayed with the device short name. These symbols are optional and if not present, the current status of the device is retained.
Example C:\>cctk Usage error. cctk Version 2.1.0 0498 (Windows - Feb 2 2012, 03:29:08) Copyright (c) 2012 Dell Inc. Usage: cctk --option[=argument] For more information about a particular command, use the option '-h' followed by the command name. Example: cctk -h --asset -o or --outfile Valid Argument Description Writes all BIOS options, that you can replicate to the BIOS of another system, to the specified filename.
NOTE: The bootorder option in the ini file is applied to a system based on its active boot list. If the ini file is generated from a system with the active boot list set as uefi, and it is applied on a system with the active boot list set as legacy, the boot order is set only on devices that are available in the system. It is recommended that you apply the ini file on a system with the same active boot list as of the system from where the ini file is generated. Example C:\>cctk -o /filename.
NOTE: Some of the following options or arguments may not be available on all systems due to the BIOS version or hardware feature set. Entering CCTK on a command line without arguments will display only those options that are valid for your system. For more details, refer to No option. NOTE: If you configure a setup password and system password for the system, while changing a BIOS value, type the setup password.
--adddevice Valid Argument usb Description Adds the specified device to the boot device list. At present, only the USB storage device is supported. This option is not valid on all the systems.
