When RS2 is used on your Marathon, it destroys any information on your hard disk soplease make sure that any information on the hard disk that needs to be preserved is backed up before using RS2.In order to use RS2, the following components are needed:1. A Marathon capable of booting from a USB mass storage device2. A USB DVD player3. A RS2 DVD suitable for your combination of OS, language and Marathon modelThe RS2 works in the following way:E-EQ-MARATHONRG-A [ 87 ] Marathon™ Reference Guide
Startup1. RS2 boots from the RS2 DVD via USB2. RS2 executes the Recovery Wizard 2.0, also known as the Wizard, which guides you through the rest of the recoveryprocess3. RS2 partitions and formats the primary disk.4. RS2 writes an OS image to the primary disk. By default the image from the RS2 media is used. In order to achievebetter flexibility and performance, the RS2 image files can be put on a network share instead. To achieve this simplycopy the .wim file found in the root on the RS2 media to a shared network folder. Please note that in order to access ashared network folder from RS2 you must use wired Ethernet and the RJ45 port of your Marathon and not WLAN.5. When the Wizard completes, RS2 restarts the system which is now returned to its shipping state in terms of theinstalled OS.Startup1. Attach the USB DVD player to the Marathon. Use the standard USB connector instead of the ‘Multi Purpose Connector’on the Marathon.2. Insert the RS2 media into the USB DVD player3. Start the Marathon.
