User`s guide

Does not include USB, PC Card, or SCSI drivers. Recommended for use in case of

problems with running Full version

To find more about components of other SonicWALL products, see the respective user

guides.

The Start automatically after parameter specifies the timeout interval for the boot

menu. If this parameter is not specified, at booting a computer the program will display

the boot menu and wait for someone to select whether to boot the OS or the SonicWALL

component. If you set 10 sec for SonicWALL Bare Metal Recovery, for example, it will

start launching it in 10 seconds after the menu is displayed. This enables fully remote

operations if you are booting from a RIS server.

3. Select the type of bootable media (CD-R/RW, DVD+

R/RW or 3.5” diskettes) to create.

If your BIOS has this feature, you can create other bootable media such as removable

USB flash drives. You can also choose to create a bootable disk ISO image or save

bootable data on the RIS server.

When using 3.5” diskettes, you will be able to write on a diskette (or a set of the

diskettes) only one component at a time — for example, SonicWALL Bare Metal Recovery.

To write another component, start the Bootable Media Builder once again.

4. If you are creating a CD, DVD, diskettes or any removable media, insert the blank disk

so the program can determine its capacity. If you chose to create a bootable disk ISO

image, specify the ISO file name and the folder in which to place it. If you chose to save

bootable data on a RIS server, specify the server and provide the user name and

password to access it.

5. Next, the program will calculate how many blank disks are required (in case you have

not chosen ISO or RIS) and give you time to prepare them. When you are finished, click

Proceed.

After you create a boot disk, mark it and keep it in a safe place.
