Imaging the FT server: Type IV

This task applies to the Type IV FT Server model. Do the following:

Insert the Acronis thumbdrive, which also contains the image, into the front USB port.
- Acronis version: 20190131-Acronis11.5SP5-WinPE.iso
- Image versions:
  - 20191214-AQU-2016w (for BIOS 1.0.26)
  - 20191217-AQU-2016w (for BIOS 1.0.29)
Lift the lid above the power button and press the power button.
Allow the server to boot up and select F2 – Setup, when the option appears.
In the BIOS:
1. Go to the Server tab and verify that the OS Boot Monitoring is set to Disabled.
2. Go to the Boot tab and change the boot order as follows:
  1. Removable Disk
  2. CD/DVD
  3. HDD
  4. ...
3. In the Boot tab, under HDD properties, set the thumbdrive disk (probably SanDisk) to the top in order to have the machine automatically boot off the thumbdrive.
4. Save Changes and Exit, allowing the system to reboot.
Allow the server to boot into Acronis.
1. Under Disk Management, verify that all the partitions on Disks 1 and 2, corresponding with the 800 GB disk drives in Slots 1, are deleted. If any exists, delete them and commit the changes before proceeding.
  
  Tip: If Acronis fails to delete all the partitions, you can plug the disk(s) into a separate FT server already running Windows and run the following commands in cmd shell:
```
>diskpart
```
```
>listdisk
```
```
>selectdisk [#]
```
```
>clean
```
```
>exit
```
2. Recover the FT image to Disk 1 (the top, primary server), selecting all the check-boxes listing the partitions.
  
  Note: You will need to create the D: Data and E: Backup partitions in Disk Management later.
3. After imaging, close Acronis and quickly remove both the thumbdrive and the bottom drive in Slot 1 as the server reboots—this will ensure that the top server is primary and that you boot off Disk 1.
Allow the server to boot into Windows.
This will take about 10 minutes and an automatic reboot will occur halfway through.
