The following section explains how to reinstall your Microsoft Windows
Unified Data Storage Server 2003 x64 operating system using the
Dell Systems Build and Update Utility available on the Dell Systems
Management Tools and Documentation media.
The Dell Systems Build and Update Utility installs the operating system
software, the Dell-specific device drivers, and additional components that are
not on the operating system media.
NOTICE: When you install Windows Unified Data Storage Server 2003 x64 with the
Dell Systems Build and Update Utility, all data is erased from your internal hard
drives. Dell recommends that you back up your data before you perform this
procedure.
NOTE: The Windows Storage Server wallpaper will be seen while the operating
system is being restored.
NOTE: For the latest BIOS, firmware, and driver updates, see the Dell Support
website at support.dell.com.
To perform a clean installation of the operating system, perform the
following steps:
NOTE: To restore your operating system, you can either locally boot from the
Dell Systems Build and Update Utility on your PowerVault NX1950 storage system
or you can configure the Dell remote access controller (DRAC) 5 and perform a
remote installation. For remote installation, configure the DRAC 5 and refer to the
DRAC 5 instructions for booting through virtual media.
