the complete image for recovery for the USB. The firmware update for existing images does not contain a complete
image.
Use a checksum utility of your choice and the
.md5 file to verify the integrity of the downloaded files.
6. Unzip the compressed image.
7. Copy the contents of the image file to the USB flash drive.
IMPORTANT: Do not rename the files.
8. Optionally, remove the USB flash drive and store it for future use.
