  1. Insert the USB drive into the computer
  2. Ensure the USB drive is at least 100 MB.
  3. Check the device name. These instructions assume it is /dev/sdb.
  4. Clear the USB using command sgdisk –Z /dev/sdb
  5. Create a single partition using command sgdisk /dev/sdb –n 1::0 –t 1:ef00
  6. Format the partition as FAT32 format using command mkfs.vfat –F32 /dev/sdb1
  7. Format the USB drive for NTFS, naming the volume ZTP
  8. Copy the downloaded software package (.zip file) onto the USB drive. It should be the ONLY software package on the USB drive. (ex. Package name: <ApplianceName>-A-R9_1_0_0_0_GA_<date>.zip)
  9. Eject the ZTP USB drive.
  10. Continue to the instructions to Configure SD-WAN using out-of-band ZTP
