Restoring from a generic image

This task provides instructions for accessing an image on the USB Recovery Flash Drive. If you access an image from a different location, such as a network connected drive or another connected USB drive, alter the steps in this task as appropriate.

Note: This procedure restores the K2 Summit system to its factory default condition. Passwords and other site-specific configurations are reset to factory defaults.

Make sure that media access is stopped and that the system on which you are working is not being used.
If you have not already done so, connect keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
Do the following:
1. Insert the Recovery Flash Drive into a USB port.
2. Restart the machine, or power on if currently shut down.
  The machine boots from the Recovery Flash Drive, into a version of Windows stored on the drive.
  
  A MS-DOS command window opens.
3. Press the F11 key to enter Boot options.
4. When prompted with a list of options, select the Acronis option and then press Enter.
In the Acronis main window, click Recovery. The Restore Data Wizard opens.
On the Welcome page, click Next.
On the Backup Archive Selection page, in the tree view expand the node for Removable Disk (D:) and select the image file, then click Next.
On the Restoration Type Selection page, select Restore disks or partitions and then click Next.
On the Partition or Disk to Restore page, select MBR and Track 0 and then click Next.
On the Disk Selection page, select Disk 1 and then click Next.
Note: Verify capacity to make sure you select the boot media card (CompactFlash or mSATA) and not a media drive. The boot media has a much smaller capacity and has an interface identified as "IDE (0) Primary Master".
On the Next Selection page, select Yes, I want to restore another partition or hard disk drive and then click Next.
On the Partition or Disk to Restore page, select (C:) and then click Next.
On the Restored Partitions Resizing page, select Yes, I want to resize partitions and then click Next.
On the Restored Location page, select (C:) and then click Next. Verify capacity to make sure you select the boot media card (CompactFlash or mSATA) and not a media drive. The boot media has a much smaller capacity and has an interface identified as "IDE (0) Primary Master".
On the Restored Partition Type page, select Active and then click Next.
Do one of the following:
- If the Restored Partition Size page does not appear. Skip ahead to the Next Selection page.
- If the Restored Partition Size page appears. Continue with the next step.
On the Restored Partition Size page, do one of the following:
- If Free space after reports 0 bytes, leave settings as they are. Click Next.
- If Free space after does not report 0 bytes, increase Partition size until Free space after reports 0 bytes. Click Next.
On the Next Selection page, select No, I do not and then click Next.
On the Restoration Options page, do not make any selections. Click Next.
On the “…ready to proceed…” page, verify that you are restoring the correct image to the correct location. Click Proceed.
On the Operation Progress page, observe the progress report.
When a message appears indicating a successful recovery, click OK.
Click Operations | Exit to exit the Acronis True Image program. The machine restarts automatically.
Remove the USB Recovery Flash Drive while the machine is shutting down.
Upon startup, wait for initialization processes to complete. This can take several minutes, during which time USB keyboard/mouse input is not operational. The system might automatically restart. Do not attempt to shutdown or otherwise interfere with initialization processes.
When prompted, enter the K2 Summit system machine name. Make sure the name is identical to the name it previously had. After start up, one or more device discovery windows can open. Allow processes to complete without interference.
Verify that the K2 Summit system is functioning normally.
Next, launch the Embedded Security Manager and put every server in Update mode.
