Run The Recovery And Update Utility - Dell PowerVault DL4000 User Manual

1. Locate the operating system installation media.
2. Ensure you have a drive from which to run the media.
You can use a USB optical drive or a virtual media device. Virtual media is supported through iDRAC. For more
information on setting up virtual media through iDRAC, see the User Guide for your system's iDRAC device.
If the installation media is corrupt or not readable, then USC may be unable to detect the presence of a supported
optical drive. In this case, you may receive an error message stating that no optical drive is available. If the media
is not valid (if it is the incorrect CD or DVD, for example), a message is displayed requesting that you insert the
correct installation media.
3. Start USC by booting the system and pressing the <F10> key within 10 seconds of the Dell logo being displayed.
4. Click OS Deployment in the left pane.
5. Click Deploy OS in the right pane.
6. Select the relevant operating system and click Next.
USC extracts the drivers required by the operating system you selected. The drivers are extracted to an internal
USB drive named OEMDRV.
NOTE: The process for extracting the drivers may take several minutes.
NOTE: All drivers copied by the OS Deployment wizard are removed after 18 hours. You must complete the
operating system installation within 18 hours for the copied drivers to be available. To remove the drivers
before the 18-hour period is over, reboot the system and press the <F10> key to re-enter USC. Using the <F10>
key to cancel the operating system installation or to re-enter USC upon reboot removes the drivers during the
18-hour period.
7. After the drivers are extracted and USC prompts you, insert the operating system installation media.
NOTE: When installing the Microsoft Windows operating system, the extracted drivers are automatically
installed during the operating system installation.
