Introduction

  • Once you have received your access to your KVM, you will be able to add your ISO yourself.

● You can then click Dell (Delete) to access your BIOS. (The key to access the BIOS may be different depending on the version).

Notes: on some models, clicking (several times) on F12 when the server is restarted (brand logo) displays the boot menu directly without having to enter the Bios.

In your BIOS

● Go to the BIOS tab and make sure that UEFI : Raritan Virtual CD is first in the boot order.

Our automatic recycling systems use a low-level formatting system for recycling our servers. The formatting of this type, can cause that the disks are not recognized during the installation of the Windows OS. In order to reset the disks, you only need your Windows installation ISO. The procedure used here calls for a utility (DISKPART) that can be accessed from a Windows CMD. Here is how to proceed to access the Windows CMD from your installation ISO.

  • On the Windows installation screen please click on NEXt and then on "Repair".

  • On the new screen click on "Troubleshoot" and then on "Advance Options".

How to use DISKPART to reset the disk

  • DISKPART has a large number of associated commands, including (LIST, SELECT, CLEAN, CONVERT, FOTMAT), these are the ones we will use to initialize the disk.
DISKPART (Utility)
list disks (List disks)
select disk 0 (Select disk)
clean (Clean the disk)
convert gpt (Convert to GPT)
exit (Return to the previous menu/exit CMD)
  • Procedure to use:

  • To return to the BOOT.

Please insert the command "exit" until you exit the CMD and return to the "Advanced Options" page.

What you have to do is to choose one of the 2 available options "Back to Windows" for the installation menu or the option "UEFI" which will send you to the UEFI/BIOS system, especially do not click on the option "Shutdown", it will require a human intervention to turn on the server.
