to restore the operating system from the recovery DVD you received with the Endura workstation.

ating
system license number is located on the back panel of the Endura workstation. The serial number is located on the front panel of the Endura
workstation.
WARNING: Recovering the operating system with this method removes any files or applications that are currently installed on the disk
