2.3 7285 Dual PCIe/NVMe SSD Storages Sku Notice – Important
If your 7285 has dual PCIe/NVMe SSDs in your system, please be noted that this section is very important. If
your system only has one SSD, you can ignore. To make sure you will re-install system image in C drive, please
read this section carefully, and any data in D drive must be backup before you starting re-image system. Because
of platform design, there’s only one port supporting PCIE remapping in RAID mode. Platform supports two SSDs
on shipping, OS will be installed on primary SSD, second one is the same slot of WWAN which is used for DATA
storage. You may not see the primary SSD before loading IRST driver, in this case, secondary SSD is enumerated
by default which will let you install the OS onto the secondary drive wrongly. The existing DATA storage would
be formatted when selecting the wrong disk to re-image.
Dell Latitude Ultrabook, E-Family & Mobile Precision Reimage “How-To” Guide
In order to install OS on the RAID/PCIE remapping port/Primary SSD slot correctly, please follow the steps below.
Refer to below procedures to install OS/re-image onto the primary SSD.
1. During POST/Dell LOGO, press F12 to select Boot Device. Ex. UEFI: JetFalshTranscend ….. which is the
bootable USB drive with OS source.
2. Follow the instructions to install OS –
a. The first screen will be about Install Now -
b. Then to select the preferred language to use from Windows Setup – Language to install… Click Next
to continue.
c. Enter the product key to activate Windows
