Restoring the Matrox Imaging operating system 83
Acquiring and restoring MIOS from a USB key
To acquire an ISO of the MIOS, contact your Matrox representative, or refer to
the Matrox Imaging bulletin that you received when you purchased or registered
your product.
Burning an ISO to a USB key
To safely copy your ISO and use it to install a new operating system on multiple
Matrox Iris GTRs, you should burn the ISO of the MIOS to a blank USB key
with a capacity of 2 Gbytes, or more. To do so:
1. Get the latest MIOS ISO and store it locally on your Microsoft Windows
development computer.
2. Connect a blank USB key to your Microsoft Windows development computer.
3. Launch Rufus (the Reliable USB formatting utility). To acquire a copy of the
Rufus utility, refer to the Matrox Imaging operating system utilities section, earlier
in this appendix.
❖
When using Rufus, make sure to specify a FAT32 partition on your USB key,
and to select the appropriate ISO image.
4. Follow all on-screen instructions.
Upgrading the MIOS using a USB key
Once your USB key has a burned image of the MIOS, you can use it to install the
MIOS onto multiple Matrox Iris GTRs. To do this, you should have the ability
to connect your bootable USB key, a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to your
Matrox Iris GTR, as described in Chapter 2: Powering and connecting to your
Matrox Iris GTR.
1. Connect your USB to your Matrox Iris GTR and reboot your Matrox Iris GTR.
2. When the BIOS logo appears, press the ESC key to open the BIOS utility menu.
3. When the BIOS utility menu opens, click on the Boot Manager utility icon to
load the BIOS boot device menu.
