2. Extract the files from the zip archive to the root directory of a bootable USB flash drive. The three required files are Shell Flash 32.efi, temp.bin, and Update.nsh. 3. Insert the USB flash drive in a USB port on the SYS-ITX-N-3800 and apply power to the embedded computer. 4. Boot to EFI-Shell mode.
9. To finish the update, select Exit Saving Changes. 10.1.4 Install USB 3.1 Gen 1 Windows 7 Driver The SYS-ITX-N-3800 uses the Bay Trail platform. For the Windows 7 Operating System (OS), use the following configuration to be able to use the required USB 3.1 Gen 1 driver. Perform this procedure before installing Windows 7.
When verifying the voltage, measure it at the power connector on the SYS-ITX- N-3800. Measuring it at the power supply does not account for voltage drop through the wire and connectors. Power the SYS-ITX-N-3800 using J1 (+12 V DC). Verify the power connections. Incorrect voltages can cause catastrophic damage. Power Harness Minimize the length of the power harness.
