Using the Windows Win32DiskImager
Win32DiskImager is a Windows program for saving and restoring images from removable drives. It
can be used to write boot images to a USB flash device, making it bootable.
Loading the CentOS 7 Image on Your Server
This topic contains information on how to load the CentOS 7 restore image on your FastServe | Live
Edit or FastServe | Ingest system.
To load the CentOS 7 Restore image:
1. Insert the USB Flash Drive (UFD) with Avid CentOS 7 Image v1.4.2 into one of the USB ports.
2. Reboot the server while holding the Esc key on your keyboard to enter BIOS, or connect through
the IPMI Console.
3. In the BIOS Boot Manager, press the right arrow on your keyboard and press Enter.
4. Select the plugged in Legacy USB portable drive, press the down arrow multiple times (mostly it
is 4 times) and press Enter to install the system.
5. Wait circa 7 minutes while the CentOS 7 system is being installed. Once the installation is
finished, press Enter and wait 3 minutes to fully reboot the server.
6. Change the boot order back to its original state, by going to BIOS boot options and moving the
USB drive lower in the hierarchy.
7. Unplug the UFD device from the USB port.
8. Check if the system disks are in the “sync” option:
cat /proc/mdstat
If the “sync” action is in progress then wait and recheck again. This action can take even 30
minutes.
