SYSTEM SOFTWARE INSTALLATION 89
Using the Fiery System Installer
You can create the system backup or restore from the backup using the Fiery System Installer
provided with the System Software 1 DVD.
It is recommended to create the system backups periodically.
You can perform following tasks from the Fiery System Installer;
• New Installation: Installs the system software from the media shipped with the E-43A.
Use this option only when the system backup is not available.
• Restore from backup or recovery partition: You can restore the system by selecting the
backups that you created before. If there is no backup available in the system or in any
attached devices, you can only perform the restore from the recovery partition.
• Back up hard disk drive(s): Use this option when you create the system backups. You
can specify the location of the backup, file name, and other attributes of the backups.
• Platform Utilities: You can perform the backup management tasks from this option.
NOTE: You can use the E-43A control panel to operate the Fiery System Installer. You can also
use a monitor, mouse, and keyboard attached if available.
