bootable state.

 

 

 

 

 

Partial Clean

 

This item reinitializes the disk (removing all data except the

downloaded and saved).

 

 

 

CAUTION: Selecting the Partial Clean item removes all

 

 

 

data except the firmware repository.

 

 

 

A delete confirmation prompt is not provided.

 

 

 

This allows user to reformat the disk by removing the
