Imagestore 750
User Manual
The ‘Software Full Re-Initialisation’ option is similar to the ‘Software Upgrade’ option, but the full
system image will be refreshed, including all settings and media. This option should be required
only if a disk failure occurs.
 Warning: The ‘Software Full Re-initialisation’ option reformats the compact flash drive.
The ‘Software Full Re-initialisation’ option reformats the compact flash drive (and HDD option if
it is installed), so all existing media and configurations will be lost. Please use extreme caution
and ensure that appropriate backups are made before using this option.
Revert Software
The ‘Revert Software’ option reverts the Imagestore 750 to its previously installed software. The
Imagestore 750 will reboot automatically. All media files and configurations are maintained.
To start the reversion, check the ‘Are you sure?’ checkbox and then click ‘Revert’. You should
monitor the progress of the software reversion and not interrupt the process.
Bootable USB Key
The ‘Create Bootable USB Key’ option allows you to create a bootable USB key containing an
HTTP server. (Software upgrades from version 2.0 or later do not require a USB key to be created
because software can be updated directly from the Web page.)
Note: Always ensure that you use a USB key (not a USB HDD) when creating a bootable USB
stick for updating software. The Imagestore will not be able to boot from a USB device that
reports itself as a USB HDD device, even though it will appear to have imaged correctly.
The appropriate update zip file ( is750-update-v42.zip ) is required to create the bootable USB key.
The process is as follows:
• Insert a blank USB key into the Imagestore 750. (You must remove the front fascia from the
Imagestore 750. The USB port is located to the left of the front panel display.)
• Click ‘Browse’.
• Select the update .zip file from the ‘Choose File’ dialog.
• Check the ‘Media Inserted’ checkbox and click ‘Create’.
• Monitor the progress on the Imagestore 750’s front panel until it shows ‘ DONE! Press Any
Key ’.
• Press the front panel joystick to remove the message.
• Remove the USB key (unless it is further required for this Imagestore 750).
This process creates a bootable USB key which can be used to upgrade an Imagestore 750, re-
initialize an Imagestore 750, or revert an Imagestore 750 to its previous software version.
