To install system software using a USB flash drive attached to the Fiery X3eTY2, you 
need the following items:

• USB 2.0 flash drive [not provided] with 2 Gigabyte capacity (minimum), a data 

transfer LED, and write-protection switched off (if it has a write-protection feature)

Not all USB 2.0 flash drives have been validated for use with the Fiery X3eTY2. If the 
one you are using does not work, try another brand. 

• Any computer [not provided] with:

– Intel x86-compatible microprocessor

– CD-ROM drive, built in or attached 

– Support for USB 2.0 

(USB 1.1 may work but may be very slow)

– CD-ROM drive, built in or attached 

(The USB Flash Tool CD accepts only PS/2 keyboard input. The user interface 
does not accept mouse input.)

– 256MB of available memory

– PS/2 keyboard (mouse input is not accepted by the software on the USB Flash 

Tool CD)

• System Software CD 1

• System Software CD 2

• System Software CD 3

• USB Flash Tool CD

To install system software using a USB 2.0 flash drive, you must use a flash drive that has 
been prepared already. The procedures in this section are:

• “To prepare a USB flash drive”

• “To install system software using a prepared USB flash drive”

Make sure the boot priority on your computer is set to boot first from the 

CD-ROM drive.

To find out how to access/change the computer’s BIOS configuration, see the 
documentation that accompanies your computer. Typically, pressing a key during power 
up (such as F2 or DEL or F8) accesses the BIOS configuration screen. 

If you load the CD too late, then the computer boots as usual. In that case, restart the 
computer so that the computer boots from the CD.

If the computer fails to display the Flash Drive Setup screen within 30 minutes, 

verify that the computer boot priority is set to boot first from the CD-ROM drive and 
that no devices are connected to the USB-A ports. If it still fails, your computer may not 
be compatible with the boot program on the USB Flash Tool CD. Try another computer.

Troubleshooting tips:

• The USB Flash Tool CD may not work properly on some PCs. In such cases, the Flash 

Drive Setup will complete, but the flash drive will fail to load system software on the 
Fiery X3eTY2. If this happens, use a different PC in conjunction with the USB Flash 
Tool CD to prepare the flash drive.

• If the LED on the USB flash drive fails to light when you connect the flash drive to the 

PC, do the following: power off the PC; remove and reinsert USB flash drive into the 
PC; and verify that its LED turns on when the PC is turned on.

• If an error message appears stating that there is not enough space available on the USB 

flash drive, your flash drive capacity is insufficient. Obtain a flash drive that has the 
proper capacity (specified on page 57), and repeat the preparation process.

The CD-ROM drive door may open and 
close automatically during this procedure. If 
it does not, manually open and close the 
drive door when removing/inserting a CD.

• Connect a USB flash drive to a USB-A 

port on the PC.

• Remove the USB Flash Tool CD.

• Insert System Software CD 1 and press 

Enter, then wait.

If the same screen prompt reappears, 
just wait or press Enter again.

• Wait for the next prompt.

• Select Yes.

• Wait for the next prompt. 

The flash drive is formatted in 
preparation for the copying of files 
from the System Software CDs.

• Wait as files are copied from CD 1 to 

the USB flash drive. Wait for the 
progress bar to reach 100% and the 
next prompt to appear. 

The wait usually takes 5-10 minutes, 
but may take considerably longer 
depending on your PC.

• Remove CD 1, insert CD 2, and press 

Enter.

Then if the same screen reappears, 
ignore it. It will disappear in 
approximately 10 seconds. When the 
progress bar reaches 100% the next 
prompt appears. 

• Remove CD 2, insert CD 3, and press 

Enter.

Then if the same screen reappears, 
ignore it. It will disappear in 
approximately 10 seconds.

When the progress bar reaches 100%; 
the flash drive LED stops flashing and 
eventually goes out; and the next 
prompt appears. 

• Wait for the next prompt.

For example, copy onto a label tag (1) the product name and (2) the system software 
version number that you find printed on the system software CD label. The USB flash 
drive is now prepared and you can use it to install system software on the Fiery X3eTY2.

• Disconnect the flash drive from the 

USB-A port. Press Enter.

• Select No unless you are preparing 

more than one USB flash drive. 

• Select Yes. 

• Remove System Software CD 3.

The following prompt appears at the end of   
a list of status messages: 

• If you have not removed the CD yet, 

remove it now. Manually close the 
CD-ROM drive and press Enter. 

• Allow the PC to boot to Windows.
