Intel® Deployment Assistant ISO image transferred to bootable USB device

Information on how the Intel® Deployment Assistant ISO image is transferred to a bootable USB device by running a script under Linux*.

Requirements:
    - Intel® Deployment Assistant ISO image for the supported Intel® Server Board or System
    - Red Hat Enterprise Linux* 4.0 system.
    - usbrecord.sh script from the CD or support site
    - a USB device that is sized 350MB or more

Steps to complete the image transfer

1. Place the iso image and the usbrecord.sh onto the Linux* system.
2. Run the following command to make the script executable.
         # chmod +x usbrecord.sh
3. Connect the USB key to the system. Do NOT mount any of its partitions.
4. Run the “fdisk –l” command to ensure the disk is detected by Linux.
5. Type the following command to make the USB key bootable containing the Intel® Deployment Assistant only.
         # ./usbrecord.sh <ISO file name> <usb_partition>
        (example : # ./usbrecord.sh /root/S5000XVN_D55595-006.iso /dev/sda1)
        - assumes that the following conditions :
                - iso image filename is S5000XVN_D55595-006 
                - USB device is at /dev/sda1

The script takes around 4 to 5 minutes to complete the operation. Upon completion, the USB key will be ready.
