Chapter 6: Operating System Recovery
Introduction
This chapter discusses procedures how to recover the Operating System
using the integrated or parallel CD-ROM drive. The software is
distributed on bootable CD-ROM media. The drivers necessary to run
the CD-ROM are temporarily installed during boot.
It is also possible to perform a BIOS update using a network connection.
Refer to the NCR FitClient Software User's Guide for information about
that procedure.
