Before You Boot
”
2.1.1 Downloading
The SI-2K Maintenance Tool is distributed in a single ZIP file that may be more than 1GB in size.
Download this file and save it to a computer running Windows. The application used to prepare
the drive for booting is not available for Mac OS at this time. Please contact
for ftp and password instructions.
2.1.2 Prepare the USB Drive
To create the Maintenance Tool, you will need a USB flash drive, at least 2GB and preferably
4GB. The drive should be empty and preferably freshly formatted with a “FAT32” file system.
Unzip the contents of the downloaded Maintenance Tool to the flash drive, making sure that the
files are placed at the top level, not in a subdirectory. Once unzipped, the files should appear
similar to Figure 1.
