Installing or upgrading the system and user software with Fiery System Installer
The Fiery System Installer is a tool found on System Software DVD 1 that you can use to install system software as well
as perform other tasks. You can perform the following tasks using Fiery System Installer;

the system backup is not available. “Installing system software” on page 102.

before. If there is no backup available in the system or in any attached devices, you can only perform the restore
from the recovery partition. “Restoring the system configuration” on page 93.
• Back up hard disk drive(s): Use this option when you create the system backups. You can specify the location of
the backup, file name, and other attributes of the backups.“Backup with Fiery System Installer” on page 97.
• Platform Utilities: You can perform the backup management tasks from this option such as erasing hard disks or
using Windows Task Manager to explore the system.“Platform Utilities” on page 100.
Note: You can use the Fiery QuickTouch to operate Fiery System Installer. You can also use a monitor, mouse, and
keyboard attached if available.
