2.1 Download and Pre-installation
If you have received the SI-2K Maintenance Tool already installed on a USB drive, you
may skip to the section “2.2 Before You Boot”
2.1.1 Downloading
The SI-2K Maintenance Tool is distributed in a single ZIP file that may be more than 1GB in size.
Download this file and save it to a computer running Windows. The application used to prepare
the drive for booting is not available for Mac OS at this time. Please contact
support@siliconimaging.com for ftp and password instructions.
2.1.2 Prepare the USB Drive
To create the Maintenance Tool, you will need a USB flash drive, at least 2GB and preferably
4GB. The drive should be empty and preferably freshly formatted with a “FAT32” file system.
Unzip the contents of the downloaded Maintenance Tool to the flash drive, making sure that the
files are placed at the top level, not in a subdirectory. Once unzipped, the files should appear
similar to Figure 1.

To make the flash drive bootable, double-click on the batch file “makeboot.bat”. (Note: You
must be logged in to your PC with Administrator rights).
