66 K2 Summit Production Client Service Manual 12 October 2009
Chapter 3 Service Procedures
After your K2 Summit Client is installed, configured, and running in your system
environment, you should create a new recovery image to capture settings changed
from default. This “first birthday” image is the baseline recovery image for the K2
Summit Client in its life in your facility. There is enough space on the Recovery Flash
Drive to store the first birthday image along with the factory image.
You should likewise create a new recovery image after completing any process that
changes system software or data, such as a software upgrade. In this way you retain
the ability to restore your K2 Summit Client to a recent “last known good” state.
You can also use the recovery image process on the control point PC.
NOTE: The recovery image process is an “off-line” process. Do not attempt this
process while media access is underway.
The recovery image process that you should follow is summarized in the following
steps.

1. Boot from the Recovery Flash Drive.
2. Create a recovery image for the K2 Summit Client.
3. Create a recovery image for the Control Point PC.

If you need to restore the Control Point PC…

2. Read the image from the location that you stored the image.
Use the following procedures to implement the recovery image process as necessary.
Creating a recovery image
Before creating a recovery image, determine the storage location for the image. If you
have not already stored an image on the Recovery Flash Drive, there is sufficient
space available and you can store the image on the Recovery Flash Drive. Otherwise,
use a network connected drive or another connected USB drive.
1. Make sure that media access is stopped and that the K2 Summit Client on which
you are working is not being used.
2. If you have not already done so, connect keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the K2
Summit Client.
3. Insert the Recovery Flash Drive into a USB port and restart the machine.
The machine boots from the Recovery Flash Drive. The Acronis True Image
