SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)

1.3

NOTICEz This equipment alone cannot guarantee the system safety. In order to ensuresufficient safety of your system even when this equipment should fail,malfunction, or have program bugs, you must add systemic protections suchas building external protective/safety circuits to facilitate safety measures toprevent personal injury and serious accidents.
z Use the basic software that we specify. Operation is not guaranteed if any
other basic software is used.
z Do not use the equipment in the environment full of dust or with corrosivegas because that may cause the equipment to fail.
z Make sure sufficient space is provided for an air intake and exhaust aroundthe equipment. Otherwise, the temperature inside the equipment may rise andthat may cause a failure or short life span of the equipment. In addition, youneed to ensure sufficient clearance for maintenance work.
z Performing emergency shutdown (that is, unplugging the power cable fromthe outlet or shutting off the circuit breaker without proper shutdown of theOS) may cause the OS or applications not to work properly or may cause thesaved data to be corrupted. Never perform emergency shutdown unless you
must stop the system immediately due to some kind of error.
z Keep in mind that if the power supply is cut, the system may not be able torecover automatically.
z If you insert or access a disk (CD or DVD), the system load may increase andrunning applications may be affected. Do not insert or access a disk during
online operation (system operation).
z Once disk (CD or DVD) access is complete, eject the disk from the DVD
drive.
Leaving it in the DVD drive may result in failure.
z Leaving the disk tray open may result in failure.
Make sure that the disk tray is closed when not in use.

3. RESTORING THE FACTORY-SHIPPED CONDITION USING A RECOVERY DVD

CHAPTER 3 RESTORING THE FACTORY-SHIPPED CONDITIONUSING A RECOVERY DVD
This chapter describes the following procedure:• The procedure to restore the system drive back to the factory-shipped conditions when you
discontinue the system you have built.
NOTE
In order to perform the procedure described in this chapter, you need a recovery
DVD. A recovery DVD comes inside the package of an HF-BT1000 only if you
purchase an HF-BT1000 that is specifically stated to include a recovery DVD.
3.1 Overview of Restoration Procedure
This section describes the overview of the procedure to restore the system drive back to thefactory-shipped condition when you discontinue the system you have built. After you restore
the contents of the system drive (the drive mounted on the drive bay 1) back to the factory
condition, follow the procedure described in “CHAPTER 1 SETUP PROCEDURE WHEN
YOU TURN ON THE POWER FOR THE FIRST TIME” to set up the OS.
The following is a rough flow chart of the procedure.
Preparation

Restoring the factory condition

Setting up the OS

For details, see “3.2 Preparation”.
• This shows a list of the items you need to prepare
and the items you need to decide or check before
you start restoration work.
For details, see “3.3 Restoring the System Drive
Back to the Factory-Shipped Condition”.
• The contents of the system drive are restored backto the factory-shipped condition.
• The procedure depends on the number of recovery
DVDs.
• The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
For details, see “CHAPTER 1 SETUP
PROCEDURE WHEN YOU TURN ON THE
POWER FOR THE FIRST TIME”.

NOTE
In the case of Model A (SATA-HDD model), if you restore the factory-shipped
condition using a recovery DVD while a drive is mounted on drive bay 2, the drive
letter for the DVD drive may not be the one in the factory-shipped condition.
If this situation happens, change the drive letter for the DVD drive after the setup iscomplete, if necessary.

3-1

3. RESTORING THE FACTORY-SHIPPED CONDITION USING A RECOVERY DVD

NOTICEA recovery DVD contains an image file created for the hardware configuration at
the factory shipment. If the hardware configuration has changed from the one at
the factory, the operating system may not start after restoration work. Remove all
external storage devices to resume the hardware configuration at the factory
shipment before you perform restoration work using a recovery DVD.
When a recovery DVD is used, all data in the system drive is deleted. Back up
the data beforehand as required.
3.2

Preparation
Before starting a restoration procedure, have the following recovery DVD ready beforehand.

4. PRECAUTION

4.3 Display Errors Generated After a Command Prompt Opens Too Many Times
If you ran the command prompt a sufficiently large number of times (about hundreds of times)
without restarting the OS, the desktop cannot be displayed properly. This is because each time
the command prompt is started, Windows Explorer (process name: explorer.exe) consumes
graphics device interface resources.
If you frequently starts the command prompt (for example, if you repeatedly run a batch file),
restart the OS regularly. If this symptom does occur, restart the OS.
4.4

Scheduled Functions by Default
In Windows® 7, various functions are scheduled by default and executed periodically in the
background. Among those functions, Windows Defender (anti-spyware feature) and the disk
defragmenter may increase the system load significantly when they run and may affect theoperation of the applications for business use. Therefore, we recommend changing thescheduled times for those two functions in order not to conflict with the schedule of theapplications for business use.
The initial schedules for those two functions are as follows:z Windows Defender• Frequency: Daily• Start time: 2:00
z Disk defragmenter• Frequency: Weekly• Day of the week: Wednesday• Start time: 1:00
