PE6400 OpenManage Server Assistant CD

Hi there, I been looking around Dell's site for the latest OpenManage Server Assitant CD or documentation, I can't find it anywhere.
 
I just want to know what is the latest version of OpenManage Server Assistant so I can download it and maybe send a link to the ISO. I currently have the 5.1 version but everytime I boot it with my PowerEdge 6400 it gives me 3 options which is normal, but each option requires a replication floppy, where can I get this dang floppy thats been causing me grief for so long?
 
 
For more details heres a link to the same problem:
 
 
Overview of what I mean>>
 
I have the exact same issue on 2 poweredge SC1420s with CERC Sata 1.5 cards.  I downloaded and burned that CD above.  But when I boot off of it, I'm presented with 3 options:
1. Server Assistant
2. Server Assistant with CD media check
3. Skip CD boot - Boot to hard drive
 
If I choose option 1, it says:
"To begin replication, please insert your replication floppy.
Replication will begin once the system has booted.
Unsupported system detected. Press to reboot the system."
 
If I choose option 2, it says the same thing as option 1 and then goes to a new dos screen that says:
"This check examines the CD to ensure that there are no media errors that may negatively affect the operation of Server Assistant.
 
Peforming media check.  This operation can take up to 15 minutes to complete.
Percent complete: 100%" (took about 1 minute)
"The media check is complete, the result is: PASS.
You can install from this media.
 
Press Enter to continue"
Then it says the same thing as option 1 again.
 
If I choose option 3, it says:
"Booting from local disk..." and just stays there frozen until I ctrl-alt-del
 
 
So what do I do?  How do I get win2k3 x64 installed?  What's this replication floppy?  My old server assistant cd used to have a gui where I specified my IPs, license, partitions, etc and then asked for the win2k3 cd.  Where's this?

Any response will be greatly apreciated

Thank you

Does anyone know if this applies to the PowerEdge 840?  I am having the exact same problem with my new server which came with v5.1 of the OM software.  I guess i'll burn the 4.5 version and see if that helps.
