About this task

  2. In the Capture Reference Image card, click CAPTURE.
    The Prepare Reference Capture page is displayed.
  3. Click RUN to capture the Reference image.
    After the capture process is complete, the system is restarted and the Capture Dynamic Image page is displayed.
  4. To auto capture the image, click CAPTURE IMAGE or wait for the capture process to start automatically.
    To modify the capture settings, click CANCEL before the countdown ends.
    After the image is captured, a confirmation window is displayed.
  5. Click COPY to save the WIM file to a USB drive or to a different location.
    NOTE:You must test the image before you submit it to Dell factory. For more information, see Restore and test image.
