DX8100 SYSTEM RECOVERY PROCEDURE
This DX8100 recovery procedure is used in two ways:
To recover your DX8100 software using the DX8100 Recovery DVD that is provided with the DX8100.
To recover your DX8100 Series DVR in case of a catastrophic failure. In this case, this procedure should only be thought of as a last resort
endeavor. The recovery process erases the entire contents of your DVR’s primary hard disk drive and overwrites the disk with a fresh image
of the system and application software from the DX8100 Recovery DVD.
To reinitialize your DX8100 Series DVR and reinstall all operating system and application software:
1. Insert the DX8100 Recovery DVD into the DVD drive.
2. Do the following:
a. Restart the DX8100.
b. Enter the BIOS by pressing Delete at the point the Pelco splash screen is displayed. The BIOS Setup UTILITY opens.
