System recovery

5 System Recovery

1. Connect the NetBox WL with a VGA monitor and an USB keyboard, put in the USB recovery stick

to a free port and switch on the NetBox. If the start display (Fig. 41) is indicated confirm with the

ESC button

for

at least 2 seconds

Figure 46:

Start display of the NetBox LW

•

In case a recovery of the Windows operating system of the NetBox LW is

necessary you should use the supplied USB recovery stick. Follow the steps
described hereafter.

Do not disconnect power from the NetBox during the

recovery procedure.

•

After the system recovery the NetBox is in the delivery status. All data stored before

on the SSD will get lost.

•

The write protection filter must be enabled (red dot is displayed) after recovery.
