13.Under Boot file server directory and file name, specify this directory and file name as the First option:

/NS/flashbase/x86/kernel.2200

14.Under Boot file server protocol, set NFS to First.

15.Press F3 to save your settings and return to the Advanced Configuration menu.

16.Press F10 to reboot the workstation.

17.Specify the appropriate flash file, or BOM file, and press Enter to continue. For information on selecting the correct flash file, see “Appendix E. Choosing a flash file” on page 55.

Note: The workstation will not prompt you to specify a BOM file in the following instances:

a.You are performing a peer flash recovery.

b.The Service Utilities server administrator has already specified a BOM file to use for flash recovery.

Attention: Recovering the flash image of a workstation can take as long as 10 minutes. Do not power off the workstation until the flash recovery process is complete.

After the recovered workstation reboots, the Configuration Tool appears on the display.

18.Make any necessary changes to your configuration, and then click Save and Restart.

If you are interested in learning more about the Configuration Tool, see “Using the Configuration Tool to configure the workstation” on page 12.

Using the Thin Client Manager Operations Utility to recover the flash image of a workstation

You can use the Thin Client Manager Operations Utility to recover the flash image of a workstation. To find out how to perform this, and other workstation management tasks, refer to IBM NetVista Thin Client Manager Operations Utility (SA23-2813) for information about managing your Thin Client Express.
