Reinstalling System Software

ClearCube blades are normally shipped with Windows XP factory-installed. Other
operating systems may be optionally available. All factory-installed operating systems
are images customized specifically for ClearCube blades, and each blade model uses
an image version that is specific to that blade model. Installing an operating system
image from one blade model onto another blade model (e.g., installing the system
image from an R1300 onto an R2200) will result in a "blue screen" system failure and
will require re-imaging the blade with the correct version, or reinstalling the operating
system.
Standard system imaging tools are compatible with ClearCube blades and system
images. In the event that operating system reinstallation is necessary, or a custom
image is desired, you may want to contact ClearCube Technical Support for
assistance.
