5.1 Restoring the Operating System
The 4200 Rack Mount Topside Processor contains a 500 GB hard drive for both the operating system and

The hard drive can be backed up and restored using the supplied USB in the unlikely event of its failure.
For instructions on how to restore the operating system, refer to APPENDIX B: Backup and Restore.
