INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: 
1. Download the SoftPaq .EXE file to a directory on your hard drive. 

2. Execute the downloaded file to extract the files.

NOTE: The utility contained in this SoftPaq is only to be used in the 
deployment of this factory image.

3. With the appropriate USB drive key plugged in, open a command window and run 
dskimg32.exe to obtain the drive key ID (only one drive key should be plugged 
in when running this program).

4. Run dskimg32.exe client-08.xx.img.
EXAMPLE: dskimg32.exe client-08.xx.img HD3 (where HD3 is the device ID).

the device will be replaced by the client image.
