Recovery

Read this section carefully before you attempt to reinstall the operating system

from the CD-ROM using this procedure. Everything on the hard drive will be

overwritten, including user configuration, data files, and license passwords.

To save your system's license information, as well as other system settings,

refer to "Saving and Reloading System Settings" in this section.

A batch process is used to autoload the software and then reboot the instrument. The batch process waits

for only a short timeout period for user interaction to abort the process. Otherwise, the hard drive will be

initialized, the operating system will be uploaded, and the instrument will reboot.

The reinstallation process takes approximately one hour depending on the speed of the attached CD-ROM.

If required, follow the steps in this book to setup the instrument and CD-ROM drive.

Insert the CD-ROM containing the instrument operating software into the CD-ROM

drive. Allow a couple of moments for the media to settle after inserting the media.

If required, follow the steps in "Saving and Reloading System Settings" to create a

backup file of your system settings and license passwords.

system and initiate the monitor selection mode. ( Otherwise,

proceed to step 4.

See the section in this book.)
