If the drive is encrypted, use the Seagate Linux USB Boot Maker utility that is included with this firmware update. To run the utility locally under Windows: 1. Double-click the downloaded SoftPaq file and follow the on-screen instructions. 2. At the end of the utility it will ask if you want to reboot now or later. Press the 'OK' button if you wish to reboot now. 3. The system will reboot to perform the firmware update and then power down the system. Please power on the system to reboot back into Windows. To deploy the utility to your enterprise: 1. Double-click the downloaded SoftPaq file and follow the on-screen instructions. 2. Go to the directory where you just saved the files from the SoftPaq. The default directory location is C:\SWSetup\sp62126. 3. Use the SeagateHDUpdate.exe utility in combination with the '/s' (silent or unattended) and the '/r' (reboot Windows) switches to deploy the Seagate Hard Drive Firmware Update. To create a bootable Linux firmware update USB Flash drive: 1. Double-click the downloaded SoftPaq file and follow the on-screen instructions. 2. Go to the directory where you just saved the files from the SoftPaq. The default directory location is C:\SWSetup\sp62126. 3.
