Abstract
Disclosed methods include initiating a system basic I/O system (BIOS) and, responsive to detecting an empty drive, accessing evaluating local BIOS telemetry data associated with installation of a new drive. Upon determining that the BIOS telemetry data a specified criteria, a long disk self-test (DST) and a short DST, may be performed. If the DSTs generate no hardware errors, hard drive service data including, for example, call log and service tag history associated with the information handling system, may be retrieved from a cloud backend to authorize an OS installation. Upon approving an OS installation, a service operating system (SOS) image may be retrieved from an OEM backend and a special key operable to cause a startup service of the SOS to boot to an OS installation flow may be accessed from a firmware volume in SPI flash to enable the SOS to initiate an OS installation flow.
