System is non-functional. It will not work at all, until an 'installation from external media' is performed. There is no software on the system because the operation failed during the early stages of a formatting installation.
-- i5000, i7000, i10000, i11000, and i12000 platforms. -- Installation from external media (PXE or USB). -- Running software v12.1.2 or v13.0.0.
Use an earlier version for the formatting installation, such as 12.1.1, and then upgrade to the target version.
The error no longer occurs; the formatting installation succeeds.
