RMC-8356 Installation Guide

OS Reinstallation and Recovery

Caution

Recovering the OS using the hard drive-based recovery or the OS 

recovery USB erases the contents of your hard disk. Before recovering the OS, 
back up any files you want to keep.

The RMC-8356 includes a preinstalled OS from the factory. The RMC-8356 also includes 
two methods of restoring/reinstalling the OS to your system. 
•

Hard drive-based recovery stores a factory backup on a separate portion of your hard drive, 
allowing you to restore your server without additional media. 

Note

The hard drive recovery hot key is <F4>. To access the hard drive-based 

recovery tool, press and hold <F4> when video first appears during the boot process.

Note

Hard drive recovery is 

not

 available if the OS is installed on a RAID array. 

•

The RMC-8356 may also ship with an OS recovery USB you can use to reinstall your 
operating system onto your hard drive. 
If you need to reinstall your operating system, you can use the included OS recovery USB. 
Boot the RMC-8356 using the OS recovery USB to recover the OS.

Note

You also may need to update or reinstall software after using the OS 

reinstallation USB to recover your OS. The OS reinstallation USB may contain 
drivers that are older or newer than the factory-installed version of the OS and may 
not contain the latest RAID drivers. To ensure you have the latest drivers, go to 

www.intel.com

 and install the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (Intel RST) RAID 

software package.

Note

After you reinstall or recover your OS, you may find shortcuts on the desktop 

that require you to install specific drivers or software (for example, video drivers). 
Due to driver and software packaging, it was not possible to preinstall this software 
during the OS installation.

Cleaning

Caution

Always

 disconnect the AC power cable before cleaning or servicing the 

chassis.
