The NI RMC-8354 also ships with an OS recovery CD/DVD 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 CD/DVD. Boot the NI RMC-8354 using the OS recovery
CD/DVD to recover the OS.
Note
You also may need to update or reinstall software after using the OS reinstallation
CD/DVD to recover your OS. The OS reinstallation CD/DVD 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.
