Loading the Windows 7 Pro Embedded Restore Image

This topic contains information on how to load the Windows 7 Pro Embedded 64-bit restore

image on your AirSpeed 5000 system.

During this procedure, you must disconnect (but do not fully remove) the media drives.

This is to make sure that the correct drives (e.g., the system drives) are reimaged, and not

the media drives. This also ensures that the media drive contents are protected.

To load the Windows 7 Pro Embedded Restore image:

1. Turn off your system.

2. Unlatch and disconnect, (it is not necessary to fully remove) the ten (10) media drives from

the chassis.

3. Insert the USB Flash Drive (UFD) into one of the USB ports on the back of the AirSpeed

5000 system.

4. Restart the AirSpeed 5000 server.

You will be asked to “Press any key to continue.” This is because the drives are no longer

seated. Press any key to continue. The system will begin to start up.

5. Press the Delete key during startup to enter the system BIOS.

The BIOS SETUP UTILITY opens.

6. Navigate to the Boot Tab, and select Hard Disk Drives. Then, do the following:

a. Make sure the 1st Drive is set to UFD, and press Enter.

b. Make sure the 2nd Drive is set to RAID: Intel Volume0.

c. Press ESC to return to the Boot tab.



Install the AirSpeed 5000 application as described in the topic “Installing AirSpeed 5000

Server Software” on page 64.

IMPORTANT: When you are done installing the AirSpeed 5000 application, a dialog box

opens, asking if you want to reboot your system. Do the following:

• Make sure all other applications are closed, and then click Ye s.

If outdated, or not in sync, the BIC and HUB will automatically be updated when the

AirSpeed 5000 application is launched.



Configure your AirSpeed 5000 server for record and playback.

For information on configuring your system, see the AirSpeed 5000 Administrator’s Guide,

or the Management Console Online Help.
