Modifying the install slot

If you are working with an add-on operating-system module, application module,
or device-driver module that gets installed through a base map, you can modify
the install slot.

The Image Ultra Builder program automatically assigns install slots to control the
order of installation. The install-slot number determines when a module is installed
in relation to other modules that are assigned during the same boot cycle (as
defined by the install hook). Install slot numbers range from 1 to 9999. The higher
the slot number, the later the module is installed during the boot cycle. Install slots
1 through 5 are most commonly assigned by the ImageUltra Builder program. So,
if you need to ensure that a module is installed late in the boot cycle, assign an
install slot higher than 5. If you have a dependency on one module being installed
before another module, assign a lower install-slot number to the module that needs
to be installed first. Modify the install slot in the Options tab of the module
window.

To modify an install slot, do the following:
1.

From the Repository window, double-click the module entry. The module
window opens.

2.

Click the Options tab.

3.

Use the Install slot drop-down menu to select the appropriate install slot
number.

In the Main window toolbar, click the Save icon.

Modifying the install sequence with a base map

You can modify the install sequence in a base map to accomplish either of the
following:

v

To fine tune the installation order for modules that get installed during the
customer first boot and share the same slot number

v

To set the installation order for one or more partitioning modules and a base
operating-system module when both are being used in the same map.

In the Install Sequence window, use a drop-down menu to select a
customer-first-boot module (by install slot) or base operating-system modules;
then, set the install sequence for all modules within that type.

The Set the Install Sequence fields are as follows:

v

First:

Place modules that need to be installed first in this field in a specified

sequence.
