NOTICE: The following procedures can be performed on a USB Key larger

than 64MB in size, but the size of the USB Key capacity will change to 64MB

the Dell PowerVault USB Key Preparation Tool.

To configure the USB Key, perform the following steps:

1. Insert the USB Key into a USB port on the client system.

2. Insert the Resource CD that came with your NAS system into your client

system CD drive.
