secondary OS:

Power down the unit.

2.

Connect a monitor, keyboard, and mouse directly to the rear of the

unit.

3.

Power on the unit.

4.

During boot up, select to use the secondary partition.

Be sure to back up your user data, and then use the Quick Restore DVD

to restore the server to the factory default state as soon as conveniently

possible.
