Using the USB Key Utility
The USB Key Utility is a Windows application that copies Intelligent Provisioning or SPV contents, and other CD or DVD
images to a USB flash drive. After copying data to the USB flash drive, you can run Intelligent Provisioning or SPV from the
USB flash drive instead of from a CD or DVD. This process is beneficial in headless-server operations. It also simplifies the
storage, transportation, and usage of the contents by allowing you to retrieve their images from the web and customize
them as needed.
Installing the utility adds a shortcut in System Tools in the Programs Start menu folder.
Features
The USB Key Utility supports:
•
ISO files larger than 1 GB.
•
Quick Formatting on USB flash drives.
•
USB flash drives up to a maximum of 32 GB. USB flash drives larger than 32 GB are not displayed in the utility.
Prerequisites
About this task
Installing applications onto a USB flash drive requires a supported source CD, DVD, or ISO, and a USB flash drive with

storage size larger than the media or ISO image (2 GB or greater).
