Erase Utility

CAUTION: Perform a backup before running the System Erase Utility. The utility sets the system to its original factory state, deletes the current hardware configuration information, including array setup and disk partitioning, and erases all connected hard drives completely. Refer to the instructions for using this utility.

Run the Erase Utility if you must erase the system for the following reasons:

•You want to install a new operating system on a server with an existing operating system.

•You encounter an error when completing the steps of a factory-installed operating system installation.

The Erase Utility can be accessed from the Maintenance Utilities menu of the SmartStart CD ("SmartStart software" on page 54).
