How to Write Disk Images to

Dell OptiPlex FX130 and FX170

Thin Clients

This document describes how to create a re-imaged utility on a USB Flash

drive or CD/DVD and use it to write a disk image to your Dell OptiPlex

FX130 and FX170 thin clients.

The following hardware is required:

Windows or Linux system with access to the Internet

USB Flash drive with at least 2 GB of storage

Dell OptiPlex FX130 or FX170 thin client

Step 1: Creating the Re-Imaging Utility on a

USB Flash Drive or CD/DVD

The re-imaging utility is distributed as an ISO image. This ISO can be

used to create a bootable CD or USB key using third-party media

creation tools. After downloading the ISO, follow the instructions for

your media creation tool.

To download the Devon IT Re-Imaging Utility Dell Edition ISO, visit

support.dell.com

and navigate to the OptiPlex FX130 or FX170 pages.

Step 2: Retrieving the Disk Images

Visit

support.dell.com

to locate and download the latest operating

system image to re-image your OptiPlex FX130 or FX170 thin clients.

The OS disk images can be found on the product support pages.

The IT Re-Imaging Utility offers three ways to write the disk image. The

first option is to copy the disk image to a USB Flash drive or a

rewriteable CD/DVD. You can copy at least one disk image on your

flash drive if its capacity is at least 2 GB. The other two options involve

copying the disk image to an NFS or Windows share on your local area

network.

Option A: Saving the Disk Image(s) Locally to the USB Flash

Drive or a CD/DVD

To save the disk image to your Re-Imaging Utility drive:

Create a folder at the root of the USB drive called

Images

Copy the disk image(s) into that directory.

Option B: Storing the Disk Image(s) on a Network Share

Copy the disk image(s) to a Windows shared drive or NFS mounted

directory. The screenshot below shows an example of how to copy a disk

image to a Windows network drive called WES images.

Step 3: Using the Re-Imaging Utility to

Write the Disk Image to the Thin Client

Plug the USB key or a CD/DVD drive with Re-Imaging Utility into the thin

client. To run the Re-Imaging Utility, you must ensure that your thin client is

set to boot from the USB flash drive or CD/DVD drive instead of the

internal drive.

To re-image the OptiPlex 130 and OptiPlex 170 using a USB flash drive:

Press <F12> during bootup to access the system boot menu.

Select the option named

Hard Disk

(or the name of your flash

drive) and press <Enter>.

Select the second option called

USB-HDD0

and press <Enter>.

You will see a menu with an option called

Default

selected.

appear and a blue progress bar will display as the re-imaging utility

begins to load.

Main Menu

is displayed.

Use the arrow keys to select an option that corresponds to the way you saved

your disk image.

If you copied your disk image directly to the USB flash drive or

CD/DVD itself, then select <1> and press <Enter>.

If you copied your disk image to an NFS mounted directory, then

select <2> and press <Enter>.

If you copied your disk image to Windows Network drive, then

select <3> and press <Enter>.

For example, if you store your disk image on a Windows network

drive named

then type:

//10.0.5.12/images.

Enter a valid username and press <Enter>.

domain name.
