Recovery
Here we will explain the basics before recovery. Please read this before performing
recovery.
When recovering from a DVD, the following materials are required. Prepare all of the
materials before starting the process.
• Recovery Disc
Before recovery, if there is data that you would like to maintain, make a backup of
the data and then perform recovery.
Once recovery is performed, all the settings including system configuration will be
reset to the factory default settings. If you would like to use the current settings again
after recovery, such as BIOS setup utility settings and network settings, make a note
of the current settings.
Before recovery, please be sure to load the factory default settings for the BIOS
setup utility.
Follow the following precautions during recovery.
Follow the steps in the manual and on the recovery screen
During recovery, be sure to follow the steps in this manual and on the recovery
screen. Missing a step, pressing a key other than the indicated key, or changing the
procedure may result in improper recovery.
Turn ON the wireless LAN function
Confirm that the wireless LAN function is ON. If it is turned off, please turn it back on
before recovery.
Disconnect peripheral devices
Disconnect peripheral devices to return to the state at time of purchase (excluding
the optical drive used for recovery).
Turning on the power
Please wait at least five seconds before turning the power on again. If the power
shutdown resulted from removing the power cord plug from the AC outlet or a
tripped circuit breaker, please wait for at least 90 seconds with the power cord
unplugged from the AC outlet, reconnect the power cord plug to the AC outlet, and
then turn the power on again.
Do not interrupt recovery
Do not interrupt the recovery process once it has started. The setup program is
running normally even if the screen appears to stop, so please wait without
interrupting the recovery. If you interrupt, the recovery may not be performed
correctly, so you have to start over from the beginning.
