Recovering the flash image

You need a CompactFlash cardwith an N2800e

(machine type 8364) flash image to complete this

procedure. See “Creating a recovery CompactFlash

card”on page 53 to createa recovery CompactFlash

card.

1. Complete the procedure, “Removing the logic unit

to install parts”on page 45 before continuing.

2. Insert the CompactFlash card into the

CompactFlash connector.

3. Move the jumpers into configuration 2.

Note: All systems ship with jumpers installed in

configuration 1.

4. Power on the thin client.

This requires you to reconnect the power cable to

the logic unit.

5. When the flash image has been re-flashed, the LED

will flash green.

If the system LED is amber, or flashes amber,the

flash image cannot be re-flashed. Try a different

CompactFlash card with the N2800e (machine type

8364) flash image stored on it, or recreate the

recovery CompactFlash card (see “Creating a

recovery CompactFlash card”on page53), and then

repeat this procedure. If you are still unable to

recover the flash image, replace the logic unit (see

“Replacing the N2800e Thin Client Express

CompactFlash card”on page 41).

6. Power off the system.

7. Remove the CompactFlash card from the connector.

8. Move the jumpers back into the default

configuration 1.

If you do not move jumpers back into configuration

1, your thin client may not function properly.

9. See “Reassembling the thin client”on page 45.
