Installing system software using a USB flash drive
To install system software using a USB flash drive attached to the Fiery X3eTY, you need
the following:
• USB 2.0 flash drive, 2GB minimum capacity and a data transfer LED.
See “USB flash drive support”.
• USB extension cable [provided; optional]
•A Windows computer with:
–Intel x86-compatible microprocessor
– CD-ROM drive, built in or attached
–Support for USB 2.0
(USB 1.1 may work but may be very slow)
•System Software CDs (2)
• USB Flash Tool CD
USB flash drive support
EFI has tested and validated a selection of USB flash drives for use with the Fiery X3eTY.
For the most current list of validated drives, contact your authorized service/support
center.
When purchasing a USB flash drive, make sure that the drive meets the following
industry-standard specifications:
•Hi-Speed USB 2.0 certified for fast data transfer
•Hi-Speed USB 2.0 certified (backwards compatible with all USB 1.1 ports)
• Compatible with Windows XP and Linux
• USB Mass Storage Class Device
•High-performance, non-volatile storage with low power consumption
If the host computer is limited to specific read and write speeds, a faster flash drive will
not necessarily deliver higher performance. For example, using a Hi-Speed drive on a
computer that supports only the slower USB speeds does not yield faster transfers. In
addition, you must properly configure the host computer to achieve the transfer rates
supported by faster flash drives.
NOTE: Some manufacturers have disabled the “removable media” attribute in certain
models of USB flash drives. If this is the case, the drive is not supported by EFI.
