General
- Owner/Loaner: Owner of Loaner of equipment
- Serial Number: {{{serial}}}
- Make/Model: Make/Model of equipment
- Arrival Date: When this thing first showed up
- Usability: Does this work or not
- Contact: person to contact
- Where: where is it
How to use
- There are three modes:
- Hard drive - works like an external hard drive
- ODD - Virtual CD only (recommended for installing)
- Dual mode - Virtual CD and external hard drive at the same time (handy for recovering files)
Copy an ISO to the drive
- Plug it into any computer
- Put it into HDD or Dual mode
- Copy the .iso file to the _iso directory on the drive
- Done!
Boot off an iso
- Plug into the server your booting
- During POST select your iso, then middle click to select it
- if you don't see the cd icon (o inside an O) it's not mounted, middle click again
- Select a boot device on the computer
- Most of the time you can just select CDROM
- I have found a few BIOS's that will only boot off one CD ROM at a time, if that's the case you must go into the BIOS and put the Valman Virtual CDROM above the built in IDE or SATA one.
