21 Press F at this point to create a factory backup image file.
N O T E F is not a choice that is displayed on the screen, it is a hidden function used only in the factory and
field to create a new backup image of the C partition.
N O T E The system will perform a quick integrity check of the file structure on the C: partition. It will then
copy the C: partition to an image file and store it on the System Recovery partition. This process
will overwrite the original Factory Recovery Image.

instrument using power button.
N O T E DO NOT press CLT+ALT+DEL to restart the DCA.
C A U T I O N Do not attempt to power up the DCA again. Doing so would nullify the Re-Seal OS process which
prepares the OS for the first customer run experience and potentially violate the license agreement
with Microsoft. The new owner should power up the DCA for the first time so that they can agree
to the licensing requirements of Windows XP.
N O T E If the refurbished DCA held software licenses before the hard drive was replaced, then the entries
for these software licenses need to be cancelled at the Agilent Software Licensing web site.
N O T E The 86100A/B replacement drives are programmed to Firmware Revision A.03.05. Upgrade the
firmware to the latest or desired version.
N O T E Refer the DCA online help for information on upgrading firmware or software in the DCA.
