E-EQ-TX700OGWW 93 5128-100 C0 User Manual Tx700 III Appendix Technical recommendation To make sure that all software and hardware will be fully functional the image needs to be created from a factory default Tx700 computer, meaning either new out of the box or reinstalled from a recovery media supplied by Åkerströms Trux AB. The recovery media can be ordered from Åkerströms Trux AB as a stand alone product. From a factory default Tx700 computer you can do your own customizations and finally create an image to be used to prepare other units based on the same hardware. For ENG/CERT Review - Not for Distribution or Publication - Draft 03 In order to achieve a successful image creation for the Tx700 it is important to follow these steps. IMPORTANT! First it is very important to make sure that the boot order in BIOS is set to boot from diskette/USB boot media/(Compact Flash) otherwise the computer will start and we will not be able to make an image of the system in the wanted state. The master is only a master image until it is started. As soon as it is started it can not be used as a master image anymore. Boot the system with diskette/USB boot media/Compact Flash with support for USB mass storage or network. Attach a USB mass storage device or a network share containing the image software e.g. Norton Ghost, as well as enough space for storing the image. Run the image software and make an image of the disk. The image should be stored in a safe place.
