Restoring the System

You can perform a system restore on the Axon or DL.2 Server with your System Restore CD.

A system restore will replace the following components:

•Microsoft Windows Embedded Operating System

•Application

The system restore does not replace the Settings, the Stock content, or User content.

Note: Because this method does not completely erase the hard drive, it also does not return the device to a factory state. To guarantee a complete return to a factory state, you must perform a full system restore.

Hardware Requirements

Caution: Contact High End Systems Support (http://www.highend.com) PRIOR to initiating a Full Restore!

A system restore can be done to replace the O/S partition of the drive, but should only be done as part of a specified upgrade plan. In that case, the XPe image the fixture shipped with will need to be updated.

All system restore operations require the System Restore CD that ships with each media server. If you have misplaced or damaged this CD, you may contact High End Systems (http://www.highend.com) for a replacement.

For a system restore, you will also need:

•External USB CD drive (for DL.2 fixtures only)

•USB keyboard

•Optional USB mouse, which may require the addition of a USB hub for DL.2 fixtures.

Performing the System Restore

Use the following steps to perform a system restore.

1.Plug your USB CD or DVD drive, keyboard, and mouse (optional) into one of the external USB ports on the media server. On DL.2 fixtures, you may need to use a USB hub, although this should only be a requirement if you wish to use a mouse.

2.Power on or reboot the media server. The System Restore menu will display on the Axon monitor or the Menu Screen on DL.2 fixtures.
