The sserv8 Flash Imager drive may be used to initialize a Site Server, Site Controller, or Ryko Code-a-Wash hardware with all of the current software needed for PCI DSS and PA-DSS compliant use of WashMax services. Initialization requires a keyboard (PS/2 is best) and monitor, and a few minutes to start. It will then run to completion, unattended, in about twenty minutes.

Note: Initializing your Site Server will destroy all existing configuration and data on it.

BIOS Setup

If the Site Server fails to boot from the flash drive and run to completion, then the computer's BIOS probably needs to be configured. See About Site Servers for configuration instructions.

Backup Procedure

If you wish to preserve existing Code-a-Wash configuration data and code inventory, follow the procedure below. If not, skip to the Initialization Procedure below.
  1. Begin with the Site Server powered on and in normal operating mode.
  2. Insert the USB flash drive in any USB port.
  3. Touch the Setup Menu button. (Login if necessary.)
  4. Touch the Database Maintenance button.
  5. Touch the Backup Now button.
    • The Code-a-Wash application will shut down, backup its data to the flash drive, and then start back up.

Initialization Procedure

  1. Begin with the PC powered off, a keyboard plugged in, and the USB Flash Imager drive in any USB port.
  2. Press the PC power button.
  3. On a Sys1, Sys2, Sys4 or Sys5 box:
    • Press the F12 key once every few seconds, until you see the Boot Menu screen.
    • Press the cursor down key to highlight Hard Drives and then press Enter to select it.
    • Highlight USB-HDD0 : USB 2.0 USB Flash Driv and then press the Enter to select it.
  4. On a Sys6 or Sys8 box, it will boot from the flash drive without pressing anything.
  5. On a Sys7 box:
    • Press the F11 key once every few seconds, until you see the Boot Menu screen.
    • Use the cursor down key to highlight the USB drive, and press the Enter to select it.
  6. The imager will run:
    • If the Windows XP logo appears, hold the power button until the PC powers off. See the BIOS Setup section above.
    • White text will scroll on the screen for a while, followed by a red warning screen.
    • Processing text is cyan, with the second column of data showing percent complete.
    • A green message at the end indicates when it has completed.
  7. Press the power button to turn the PC off.
  8. Remove the USB Flash drive.
  9. Press the power button to start up the newly imaged Site Server.
  10. When Windows has started up, give it a few minutes to discover new devices. Allow it to reboot if it wants to.
  11. If reimaging an old PC to make it PCI DSS compliant, double-click on Secure Delete on the desktop. This will take about an hour to run.
  12. Double-click the Post-Cloning Fix-Up icon on the Desktop.
  13. Call Intelio tech support to reinitialize your Site Server. (It needs to be given its identity on the network and software initialized.)

Restore Procedure

If you made a backup of your Site Server configuration data, you may restore it once the newly initialized Site Server has started back up. (Ask your Intelio tech, a remote backup may have been restored during the initialization process.)
  1. Begin with the Site Server powered on and in normal operating mode.
  2. Insert the USB flash drive in any USB port.
  3. Touch the Setup Menu button.
  4. Touch the Exit button.
  5. Touch the Repair Backup Restore button.
  6. Touch the Restore Data From Backup button.
  7. Touch the caw.mdb file and touch the OK button.
  8. Touch the OK button.
  9. Touch the next OK button.
  10. Touch the Finished button.
  11. Touch the Start button.

The file C:\image.txt on the PC contains the revision date of the Flash Imager used to initialize the PC.
