Copying to Multiple Computers
Ä
CAUTION: A setup configuration is model-specific. File system corruption
may result if source and target computers are not the same model. For
example, do not copy the setup configuration from a dc7xxx PC to a
dx7xxx PC.
This method takes a little longer to prepare the configuration diskette
or USB flash media device, but copying the configuration to target
computers is significantly faster.
✎
A bootable diskette is required for this procedure or to create a
bootable USB flash media device. If Windows XP is not available to
use to create a bootable diskette, use the method for copying to a
single computer instead (see “Copying to Single Computer” on
page 15).
1. Create a bootable diskette or USB flash media device. See
“Supported USB Flash Media Device” on page 17 or
“Unsupported USB Flash Media Device” on page 19.
Ä
CAUTION: Not all computers can be booted from a USB flash media
device. If the default boot order in the Computer Setup (F10) Utility lists
the USB device before the hard drive, the computer can be booted from a
USB flash media device. Otherwise, a bootable diskette must be used.
2. Select a setup configuration to copy. Turn off the computer. If you
are in Windows, click Start > Shut Down > Shut Down.
3. If you are using a USB flash media device, insert it now.
4. Turn on the computer.
5. As soon as the computer is turned on, press
F10 when the
monitor light turns green to enter Computer Setup. Press
Enter to
bypass the title screen, if necessary.
✎
If you do not press F10 at the appropriate time, you must restart the
computer and again press
F10 when the monitor light turns green to
access the utility.
6. If you are using a diskette, insert it now.
