Setup (F10) Utility requires that you first back up the settings before a
recovery is needed.

Business Desktop dx5150. Download the ROMPAQ files into a
folder on a removable storage device. It is recommended that you
save any modified computer configuration settings to a diskette, a
USB flash media device, or a diskette-like device (a storage device
set to emulate a diskette drive) and save the diskette or device for
possible future use.
