Chapter 9 Operation and Maintenance
9.7 Reinstalling the OS
This section explains the procedure for reinstalling the OS.
9.7.1 Checking before OS Reinstallation
■
Removing the Optional Devices
Remove the following optional devices before reinstallation. Install or connect them after OS
installation.
• External SCSI optional devices (e.g., DAT unit) connected via a SCSI card
• Internal hard disk units that do not contain the OS installation folder
■
Deletion of Data from the Disk
Reinstallation deletes all disk contents. Be careful. Save the necessary data and system configuration in
a different location.
Some drivers and software are not installed together with the OS. Install them after OS installation.
■
Other Notes
Any remaining notes are the same as those for initial installation. Make sure to check the settings in
advance.
9.7.2 Reinstallation Using ServerStart
When the previous installation was performed in guided mode or preconfiguration mode, the ServerStart
floppy disk used in that installation can be used again. When the reinstallation is performed with the
same configuration as that for the previous installation, you do not have to edit the configuration file on
the ServerStart floppy disk. You do not have to configure setting on wizards. After ServerStart starts up,
click [Start (OS) Installation] to perform installation.
