Using the USB Key Utility

The USB Key Utility is a Windows application that copies Intelligent Provisioning or SPP contents, and
other CD or DVD images to a USB flash drive. After copying data to the USB flash drive, you can run
Intelligent Provisioning or SPP from the USB flash drive instead of from a CD or DVD. This process is
beneficial in headless-server operations. It also simplifies the storage, transportation, and usage of the
contents by allowing you to retrieve their images from the web and customize them as needed.
Installing the utility adds a shortcut in System Tools in the Programs Start menu folder.
Features
The USB Key Utility supports:
• ISO files larger than 1 GB.
• Quick Formatting on USB flash drives.
• USB flash drives up to a maximum of 32 GB. USB flash drives larger than 32 GB are not displayed in
the utility.

Prerequisites

Installing applications onto a USB flash drive requires a supported source CD, DVD, or ISO, and a USB
flash drive with adequate storage space for storing the source contents. The USB Key Utility requires a
USB 2.0 flash drive with a storage size larger than the media or ISO image (2 GB or greater).
NOTE:
Version 2.0 and later of the USB Key Utility does not support a 32-bit operating system.
AutoRun files
AutoRun files do not start automatically from the utility. To start an AutoRun file, double-click the
autorun.exe file in the appropriate CD or DVD folder on the USB Key.
