We will go through the following steps:

Step-by-step guide

Booting the device (into System Management Utility)
Running a System Recovery (Back to factory defaults)
Setup Microsoft Windows Server IoT 2022 for Storage Workgroup
Software selection (Installing DIVAR IP System Manager)
Operation Mode selection (Using DIVAR IP System Manager) - BVMS

1. Booting the device (into System Management Utility)

1. Turn on the unit and press F7 during the BIOS power-on-self-test to enter Windows PE.

2. Running a System Recovery (Back to factory defaults)

Note

→ Formats video data partitions and restores the OS partition with the factory default image. Takes ~10 minutes.

→ Formats video data partitions, completely overwriting existing data, and restore the OS partition with factory default image. Might take up to 110 hours.

→ Restores the OS partition with the factory default image and imports existing virtual hard drives from existing video data partitions. Might take ~10 minutes. Note that to access existing video, a system configuration backup must be placed back after recovery!

1. Choose System factory default

2. Read the warning message and confirm the selected option by clicking OK

The Factory Setup script will now run, first formatting the system and then re-imaging the OS partition.

This part of the process takes approximately 10 minutes, with the full process of re-installation taking approximately 30 minutes.

3. After the recovery process is complete, confirm the system restart. The system restarts and setup routines are performed.

3. Setup Microsoft Windows Server IoT 2022 for Storage Workgroup

When the device is rebooted after recovery, it will run the standard boot process.

Now, we will go through the Windows setup process.

1. Select the desired language for the setup

2. Select the region → this will determine the Windows regional settings

3. Click Next to continue and read the license terms on the next page then click Accept

Windows will boot, several scripts will run. After this, the system will reboot automatically. No input is required at this point of the process.

4. After reboot, a password for the Windows admin user (BVRAdmin) needs to be configured:

Make sure to create a secure password and store it in a safe location.

The password should contain minimum 14 characters:

at least one upper case letter
at least one lower case letter
at least one digit

4. Software selection (Installing DIVAR IP System Manager)

The software selection screen will be displayed. Here you can select the System Manager installation file.

If the system does not find any System Manager file, it can be downloaded from Bosch Download Store and put it on the stick.

On this system, one file is available.

Note: If multiple files are available, select the desired version.

The file can be selected by simply pressing the button on screen, or by browsing the directories as below:

1. Select the DIVAR IP System Manager .exe file > Read & Accept the EULA

System Manager will now be installed and the system will reboot afterwards.

2. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to log in to Windows with the previously created password

Microsoft Edge browser will automatically boot up and start the System Manager

5. Operation Mode selection (Using DIVAR IP System Manager) - BVMS

The latest software and upgrade packages can be downloaded from Download Store

There are three available operation modes:

→ use the devices as a full recording and management system

→ use the devices as a pure video recording system

→ use the devices as iSCSI storage expansion unit only

Note: Make sure to choose the right operation mode as a full factory reset is needed to change it!

1. We will now choose the BVMS Operation mode, select the version you want (currently 11.1.1 available) and click Next
*Updates of BVMS are possible after installation, using System Manager
