Recovering the Configuration Settings
This method of recovery requires that you first perform the
Save to Removable Media
command with the
Computer Setup (F10) Utility before
Restore
is needed. (See
Computer Setup—File on page 159
in the
Computer Setup—File table.)
NOTE:
It is recommended that you save any modified computer configuration settings to a USB flash media
device and save the device for possible future use.
To restore the configuration, insert the USB flash media device with the saved configuration and perform the
Restore from Removable Media
command with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility. (See
Computer Setup—File
on page 159
in the Computer Setup—File table.)
