Make sure the files you download and install have the filenames listed above. For best results, download the files to the computer you will use to create the tools media.

• Copy the files from the avancetools folder to a CD/DVD-ROM or USB memory stick. For instructions, see your computer’s online help.
  1. Burn utilities and CD/DVD-ROM hardware must support and use the Disk-At-Once (DAO) method. Stratus recommends burn utilities that default to DAO mode, such as http://www.imgburn.com/.
  2. Use only new CDs/DVD-ROM discs.
  3. Write only to the root directory of the USB stick or CD/DVD-ROM. Do not write to a folder.
  4. The Avance installation program will not recognize some older USB sticks.
• CD/DVD-ROM only: Verify the new disc.
