Re-installing System Software

ClearCube blades are normally shipped with operating system factory-installed. Other
operating systems may be optionally available. All factory-installed operating systems
are images customized specifically for ClearCube blades, and each blade model uses an
image version that is specific to that blade model. Installing an operating system image
from one blade model onto another blade model (for example, installing the system
image from an R1350 onto an R3040S) will result in a system failure and will require
re-imaging the blade with the correct version, or reinstalling the operating system.

Standard system imaging tools are compatible with ClearCube blades and system
images. In the event that operating system re-installation is necessary, or a custom image
is desired, you may want to contact ClearCube Technical Support for assistance.
