Restoring the factory settings of the operating system and partitions (Restore)

Using the Restore function, you can restore your device to the delivery state after damage,
for example.
The Restore function restores the volume partitions, the operating system with installed
device drivers, and the SIEMENS software products. Before performing the Restore function,
observe the information in section "Back-up authorization or license key (Page 91)".
Setting Boot mode
Note
Boot mode in the delivery state
We recommend that you restore the device to the boot mode in which it was delivered.
You can restore the device in the following two boot modes:
UEFI mode (GPT volume):
To support new features, such as TPM 2.0 and volumes larger than 2 TB, the operating
system must be restored in the way that it boots in UEFI mode.
1. Boot the supplied USB stick in UEFI mode.
2. The device is then set up with a GPT volume and boots in UEFI mode.
Legacy mode (MBR volume):
To support older extensions and functions, such as older PCI(e) cards and older software
products, the operating system must be restored to boot in Legacy mode.
1. Boot the supplied USB stick in Legacy mode.
2. The device is then set up with an MBR volume and boots in legacy mode.
Notes on restoring
● If the data of partition D: (Data) should be retained during the restore, the device must be
partitioned as in the delivery state.
● In boot mode, the device is restored to the delivery state.
Procedure
Note
The firmware settings might have to be changed in order for the device to boot from the
provided USB stick.
