This Article covers the installation of the ICSP Scanner Station using a USB image from a bootable USB stick step by step.
Resolution:
Prerequisites
You will need a bootable USB stick / thumb drive with at least 2 GB of size, a USB keyboard, and the USB image provided by Blue Coat
1. Flashing the USB storage device with the ICSP-USB image
Use win32diskimager (http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/) do write the USB image (not the CD ISO) to the USB storage device. This will erase and overwrite all content of the storage device.
2. Booting from USB device
Turn off the power of the Scanner Station (unplug the power cord). Plug in the USB device in one of the four USB ports on the underside of the panel. Plug in the USB Keyboard in another USB port. Now plug in the power cord and keep tapping the F2 key of the keyboard until you boot into bios. Now change the boot order and pick the connected USB storage device as the first boot option, then save the settings. This will restart the Scanner Station and boot from the connected USB stick.
3. Installation
During configuration you will encounter predefined default settings. Blue Coat recommends using these settings. Use the cursor block to navigate menus and TAB to jump to other next object/button and ALT+TAB to jump back. If you are finished with a configuration Screen Click Next.
