After the Recover Your Server wizard prepares the bootable USB flash drive, insert it into the server, and then start the server in recovery mode. To learn how to start your server in recovery mode, refer to the documentation from the manufacturer of your server hardware.

When the server starts from the USB flash drive that was created in the previous step, a small application runs. The application allows the Recover Your Server wizard that is running on your client computer to discover the server, establish a connection, and then continue the recovery process.
