5. At this point you may choose to power down the computer (press 0), reboot (press 1), enter a console

terminal (access a console TTY -- press 2), or re-initiate the entire procedure (press 3). Do not remove

the USB drive until you have rebooted or powered down the system.

6. Once you have powered down the system and removed the USB drive, you have finished configuring the

recovery environment. The USB drive should be clearly labeled and stored in a safe place. You may now

continue to the next section, where you will return the BIOS to its original state (Step 4) and test the

recovery procedure for successful configuration (Step 5).

Step 4: Reset BIOS to Original State

Now you will need to return the boot priority to its original configuration so that the system will boot from the

original disk. This is done for two reasons; the first is security, so that the machine may not be rebooted from

unauthorized USB drives The second, however, is functional: currently, if the DA-685 is set to boot from the

USB drive, then the DA-685 will hang any time a USB data drive (i.e.: non-bootable image) is inserted

in the machine at boot time. The DA-685 does not currently have the capacity to distinguish between simple

USB data drives and boot-capable OS drives.

1. Reboot the system, and press F2and then select SCU to enter the BIOS setup menu.

2. Select Hard Disk and shift it to the top boot priority by using the + key, then press Enter. Make sure the

hard disk has first boot priority.
