VT-M2M-TC 7Update System 7.1 Make USB boot Stick and Copy Image to USB stick Create PC condition: Create a bootable USB stick on Windows XP/ Win7, the first thing you need to do is insert a USB stick with at least 2GB of free space into your PC. Here use an USB installer tool to write the image ISO to USB stick. Please copy the file SW/tools/Universal‐USB‐Installer‐1.9.3.5.exe to your PC anywhere. USB stick making steps in detail as follows: Copy SW/image/xxx.iso image into your PC.
VT-M2M-TC Click 'Browse' and select the image ISO file.
VT-M2M-TC Choose the USB drive and click 'Create'.
VT-M2M-TC 7.2 Update steps When the bootable USB stick create over, insert the USB stick into VT‐M2M‐TC. And connect a USB keyboard on the M2M‐TC.
VT-M2M-TC Power ON the VT‐M2M‐TC, and step into BIOS by press the “Delete” key on the keyboard. In the BIOS, set the first boot option for boot up by USB stick. The user guidance of the BIOS is in the package of HW/700N16‐6Bxxxxxx_VT‐M2M‐TC_VM_xxx.zip. Select the first option “clonezilla live with img 700Pxxxxxx”.
VT-M2M-TC When ask “Are you sure want to continue??” or “Let me ask you again, Are you sure you want to continue??” , please input ‘y’ all.
VT-M2M-TC The system is updating.
VT-M2M-TC When update over, the system will power off. Re‐power VT‐M2M‐TC, and step into the BIOS, and restore the first boot option to hard disk.
