NOTE: Before installing an operating system, make sure that Lifecycle Controller is updated with the

latest driver packs. You can download the latest Lifecycle Controller drivers at dell.com/support.

Scenario User Action and Impact

During POST, the system prompts you to

press a key to boot to the operating system

installation media.

Press any key to begin the operating system installation;

else, the system boots to the hard-disk drive and not the

operating system installation media.

Operating system installation is interrupted

and the system restarts before the

installation is completed.

The system prompts you to press a key to boot from the

operating system installation media.

Cancel operating system installation. Press <F10>.

NOTE: If you press <F10> during the installation

process or a restart, the drivers provided by the

operating system deployment wizard are removed.

During the 18-hour period when drivers are

extracted to a temporary location after the

operating system is installed, you cannot

update the component firmware using a

DUP. If you attempt a DUP through the

operating system during this time period,

the DUP displays a message that another

session is active.

Lifecycle Controller does not allow DUP after the

operating system installation. However, if you disconnect

the power supply to the managed system, the OEMDRV

directory is erased.
