Copying to Multiple Computers

CAUTION: A setup configuration is model-specific. File system corruption

may result if source and target computers are not the same model. For

example, do not copy the setup configuration from a dc7100 Ultra-Slim

Desktop to a dx6100 Slim Tower.

This method takes a little longer to prepare the configuration diskette

or USB flash media device, but copying the configuration to target

computers is significantly faster.

✎

A bootable diskette is required for this procedure or to create a

bootable USB flash media device. If Windows XP is not available to

use to create a bootable diskette, use the method for copying to a

single computer instead (see “Copying to Single Computer” on

page 10).

1. Create a bootable diskette or USB flash media device. See

“Supported USB Flash Media Device” on page 13 or

“Unsupported USB Flash Media Device” on page 16.

CAUTION: Not all computers can be booted from a USB flash media

device. If the default boot order in the Computer Setup (F10) Utility lists

the USB device before the hard drive, the computer can be booted from a

USB flash media device. Otherwise, a bootable diskette must be used.

2. Select a setup configuration to copy. Turn off the computer. If you

are in Windows, click Start > Shut Down > Shut Down.

3. If you are using a USB flash media device, insert it now.

4. Turn on the computer.
