6. At this point, complete the restoration process by selecting (0) Power off to shut down the computer.

However, if the Power Switch remains inserted in the front panel of the computer and is left in the ON

position, the system will fail to shut down and will immediately initiate a soft reboot. To avoid this, you can

use the switch to cut off power to the computer immediately following the shutdown, or simply remove the

power switch from the front panel and use the console to shut down the computer by pressing 0.

7. After the computer has powered down, remove the USB drive and store it in a secure place.

Step 4: Reset the BIOS to its Original State

At this point, you will need to return the boot priority to its original configuration so that the system will boot

from the main system storage drive. This is done for two reasons:

• The first reason is for security, since the computer will not be able to be rebooted from unauthorized USB

drives.

• The second reason is because the computer is unable to not boot up from a non-bootable USB drive.

Currently, if the V2616A is set to boot from the USB drive, then the V2616A’s boot process will

hang any time a non-bootable USB data drive is inserted into the machine. The V2616A does not

currently have the ability to distinguish between simple USB data drives and boot-capable OS drives.

Take the following steps to update the boot priority setting:

1. Reboot the system, and, during the POST process, press F2 until you hear a long beep. Click SCU to enter

the BIOS setup menu.
