Can I reimage MHO140 using USB ?

Hi,

I purchased two MHO140s for my lab. One, MHO140-1 has R80.20SP installed, and the other, MHO140-2 has R81.20SP installed.

I tring to emulate to my client version, R81.10SP. Therefore I'd like to downgrade R81.20SP to either R81.10SP or R80.20SP.

However, no matter how I tried and even replace USB stick with usb 2.0, the MHO140-2 won't boot from USB.

Can anyone recommend how to downgrade MHO140 from R81.20SP to R81.10SP ?

Thanks,

Todd

You can create a bootable USB stick using the ISOmorphic tool to reimage the MHO. You’ll need to contact TAC to obtain the BIOS password and adjust the boot priority. After that, you can proceed with ISOmorphic.
