CHAPTER 16
Restoring the System
164 DL.2 User Manual
Full System Restore
A full system restore will replace the entire contents of the DL.2 hard drive, including:
• Microsoft Windows Embedded Operating System
• DL.2 application
• DL.2 settings
• DL.2 Stock content
This type of restore should be used when you are trying to restore the fixture to factory state.
Note: After a full system restore, all user content will be absent. You will
need to re-transfer it to your fixture through the DL.2 CMA. Also, a
full restore requires a USB DVD drive and takes between 45–90
minutes longer to perform than a partial restore, depending on the
speed of your USB DVD drive.
Partial System Restore (Preserving Content)
A partial system restore will replace the following components:
• Microsoft Windows Embedded Operating System
• DL.2 application
The partial restore does not replace the DL.2 settings, the DL.2 Stock content, or User
content. As such, the partial system restore option exists as a convenience for users who are
trying to restore their fixture's OS and application, but who need to preserve the content or
settings on the DL.2 fixture. This type of restore also takes less time than a full restore.
Note: Because this method does not completely erase the DL.2 hard drive,
it also does not return the device to a factory state. To guarantee a
complete return to a factory state, you must perform a full system
restore.
