Installing RMC-8357 in Rack
OS Reinstallation and Recovery
Caution
Recovering the OS using the hard drive-based recovery or the OS
recovery media erases the contents of your hard disk. Before recovering the OS,
back up any files you want to keep.
The RMC-8357 includes a preinstalled OS from the factory. The RMC-8357 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.
–
This option is not available on systems with Windows Server operating systems
preinstalled.
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.
•
The RMC-8357 also ships with an OS recovery media 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 media.
Boot the RMC-8357 using the OS recovery media to recover the OS.
