NOTE: USC LCE is not supported on the DL2000 appliance. See

Using The Dell Systems Build And Update Utility To

Manually Recover The Operating System

.

Locate the Microsoft operating system media that came with the system to proceed with the installation.
After a multiple disk failure of the DL2

x

00 system boot disk, you must replace the failed disks, create a RAID 1 disk group,

and then reinstall the operating system. See

Recovering From Disk Failures

.

The USC-LCE utility includes a RAID Configuration wizard to complete this task. When prompted select Configure RAID
Now and configure the DL2

x

00 system drives in slot 0 and slot 1 as RAID 1.

CAUTION: Reinstalling the operating system on existing disk drives removes all installed applications and erases
all data.

If the boot disk has not failed and you are reinstalling the operating system, you can skip the Configure RAID Now step
and proceed directly to the OS Deployment step.

NOTE: In the RAID Configuration Wizard, ensure that you uncheck Assign a HS if available if it is checked by
default.
