Burning and restoring a factory default MIOS with a USB key
Only a factory default MIOS can be burned to a bootable USB key. If you are
trying to restore a backup, see the
Making a backup MIOS and deploying it on
multiple units section later in the appendix. To acquire an ISO of the factory default
MIOS, contact your Matrox representative, or refer to the Matrox Design
Assistant documentation for the location of the system restore MIOS file in the
Matrox Design Assistant installation folder.
Burning a factory default MIOS ISO to a USB key
To safely copy your factory default MIOS ISO and use it to install a new operating
system on multiple Matrox Iris GTX units, you should burn the factory default
MIOS ISO to a blank USB key with a capacity of 4 Gbytes, or more. To do so:
1. Acquire a copy of the factory default MIOS ISO and store it locally on your
Microsoft Windows development computer.
2. Connect a blank USB key to your Microsoft Windows development computer.
3. Launch Rufus (the Reliable USB formatting utility). To locate a copy of the Rufus
utility, refer to the Matrox Imaging operating system utilities section, earlier in this
appendix.
