Recovering the Configuration Settings
This method of recovery requires that you first perform the Save to Removable Media command with the
Computer Setup (F10) Utility before Restore is needed. (See
Computer Setup—File table.)
NOTE:
It is recommended that you save any modified computer configuration settings to a USB flash media
device and save the device for possible future use.
To restore the configuration, insert the USB flash media device with the saved configuration and perform the
Restore from Removable Media command with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility. (See
on page 57
in the Computer Setup—File table.)
