Saving settings

Do this task for both software and CPU carrier module upgrade kits.

Before doing this task, the 16GB USB Recovery Flash Drive that you received with the kit must have the serial number of the K2 Summit system written on it to identify it as belonging to that individual system.

Note: Do not attempt to use a single Recovery Flash Drive on multiple systems. This can overwrite saved settings and lose the ability to restore settings on one or more systems. Also, software licensing requires one Recovery Flash Drive for each system.
  1. If you are working on a K2 client SAN-attached system, record iSCSI or LAN Connect bandwidth settings, so you can reconfigure after removing and re-adding to SAN.
  2. Make sure you are logged in to the K2 Summit system with administrator privileges.
  3. Connect the USB Recovery Flash Drive to a USB port on the K2 Summit system.
  4. On the USB Recovery Flash Drive, navigate to the following location: \tools\SaveRestoreScripts.
    Note: Do not attempt to use the same Recovery Flash Drive on multiple systems.
  5. Run the following and wait for the process to complete: psave.bat

    This saves current settings onto the USB Recovery Flash Drive in the \settings directory.

  6. Disconnect the USB Recovery Flash Drive.
Next, do one of the following:
  • If you are installing K2-XDP2-V10-FK on a K2 Summit 3G system with mSATA system drive, skip ahead and reimage.
  • If you are installing K2-XDP2-V10-FK on a K2 Summit system with CompactFlash system drive, skip ahead and replace the CompactFlash boot media with the new larger 64GB mSATA system drive.
  • If you are installing K2-XDP2-CPU-FK on a K2 Summit system, replace the CPU carrier module.
