You require the corresponding LAN boot support in the BIOS if you want to boot
the device from the network. PXE support is implemented in the BIOS during
delivery. If you require BOOTP support, you have to install it first. You will find
the tool for it in the "Rack PC IL 40 Documentation and Drivers" CD supplied.
Installing the Operating System from Restore CD
After switching on, the Rack PC IL will perform a self test. During the self test, the
message
<F2> BIOS Setup, <F12> Boot Menu
appears briefly.
Notice
The keys F2 and F12 can be used to recall the displayed menus while the
message is displayed. Only press the keys if you are familiarized with the menus
to be recalled.
The Rack PC IL is booted. The message
Operating system not found
appears on the screen to indicate that no operating system has been installed yet.
1. Insert the supplied Restore CD into the CD ROM drive and close it.
Notice
If two CD drives are installed, the CD in has to be placed in the first drive (master).
2. Press twice the On/Off button behind the front door. The Rack PC IL is
rebooted and the recovery menu appears.
3. If you select "Full Recovery", the hard disk will be overwritten completely. If you
select "Partial Recovery", the data on "D" (Partition DATA) will be retained.
Always select "Full Recovery" for the first commissioning.
"Partial Recovery" can only be used for reinstallation if the partition name and,
if applicable, the partition size are not changed.
