Workstation recovery procedures
Note: All databases and system/device drivers from the workstation must be backed-up
before restoring the operating system.
Before you begin:
• Locate the IBM Product Recovery CD-ROM for your workstation model.
• Locate the Enterprise Manager license number for the workstation and write it down.
This number is usually located on the right side of the workstation.
• Backup all databases and system/device drivers from the workstation.
• Backup or write down any workstation system configurations, i.e.:
– Computer name
– IP addresses
– User name
– Company name, etc.
• Locate your supplied copy of the Enterprise Manager Software package.
• Locate your supplied copy of Turbo TFTP NT (if this workstation is used as an
Enterprise Manager and Server).
• Locate your supplied copy of Windows Service Pack (latest version).
Restoring the Windows operating system
1. Turn on the workstation and press the F1 key when the “Configuration/Setup Utility”
prompt appears on the screen.
2. From the Configuration/Setup menu, select Start Options.
3. Select Startup Sequence.
4. Write down the current startup sequence so that it can be restored later.
5. From the Startup Sequence menu, select the sequence that allows the CD-ROM
drive to start up before the hard drive.
6. Press the ESC key twice to return to the main menu, and select Save Settings.
Follow the prompts to EXIT from the Configuration/Setup Utility. After selecting EXIT,
the workstation will begin the reboot process.
