4 Starting the Restore Manager

To launch Restore Manager, insert the Restore Manager USB key into an available USB port on the
DR4000.

NOTE: You can also remotely mount the Restore Manager USB key using the iDRAC virtual media
option. See the

Configuring and Using Virtual Media

section of the Integrated

Dell Remote Access

Controller 6 (iDRAC6) User’s Guide

at support.dell.com/manuals for additional details.

When the system is initially booting, press the <F11> key to enter the BIOS Boot Manager utility. In the
BIOS Boot Manager utility, select the USB key as the boot device and press <Enter> and save the
changes in the BIOS. Restore Manager will boot off of the USB key and you will be presented with the
recovery mode choices as described in Restore Manager Operating Modes.

5 Updating the Restore Manager USB Key

You can update the USB key with new versions of DR4000 system software by downloading the
DR4000 upgrade software from:

http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/

1. Locate and delete the *.tar.gz file on the USB key in the \RMPAYLOAD\UMPAYLOAD\ folder.

2. Copy the new upgrade software *.tar.gz file to the USB key in the

\RMPAYLOAD\UMPAYLOAD\ folder.

The Recovery Manger USB Key now contains the updated DR4000 system software.
