System Recovery

This Chapter describes the system recovery process using the system recovery image, also called the WIM
image.

Initial WIM Recovery Image

The initial WIM image is captured to the Harris System Recovery USB stick at the customer's facility during
initial system deployment. At the time of shipment, the Harris System Recovery USB stick does not include a
WIM file.

Prepare the Drive for Capture

When you capture a WIM image, you are capturing the current state of the Operating System drive on the
NXAMP3801HDX/HDI system to use for future system recovery.
A WIM image capture can contain extremely large files. Before capturing the image you should delete any
log files and temporary files that are unnecessary to store as a part of the WIM image capture.

Format a Third-Party USB Stick

The WIM image must be captured to a properly formatted USB stick. It is recommended that the WIM image
is captured to the Harris System Recovery USB stick, which is already properly formatted for the WIM image.
If you are using a third-party USB stick, use the following steps to format the USB stick for the WIM image.
1 Insert the third-party USB stick into one the USB port on the back of the NXAMP3801HDX/HDI.
2 Insert your Harris USB stick into the remaining USB port on the back of the NXAMP3801HDX/HDI
3 On the NXAMP3801HDX/HDI system, open the Y:\Programs\PE_Apps folder.
4 Double-click NxImage.exe to start the NxImage application.
