Installing Your Operating System Using the Dell Systems Build and

Update Utility

The following section explains how to reinstall your Microsoft Windows

Unified Data Storage Server 2003 x64 operating system using the

Dell Systems Build and Update Utility available on the Dell Systems

The Dell Systems Build and Update Utility installs the operating system

software, the Dell-specific device drivers, and additional components that are

not on the operating system media.

NOTICE:

Dell Systems Build and Update Utility, all data is erased from your internal hard

drives. Dell recommends that you back up your data before you perform this

procedure.

NOTE:

The Windows Storage Server wallpaper will be seen while the operating

system is being restored.
