Processes for imaging the Venue 8 Pro

Note: Before beginning an image install, Dell first recommends that the system BIOS be updated to the latest version available and all BIOS settings are set correctly for the desired system operation. You can download drivers and support applications for t his system from the Dell support website.

Windows 8.1 installation via bootable UEFI USB flash drive.

Note: This process should be performed on a local user workstation/system connected to the Internet.

Notice: All data contained on the USB drive will be destroyed in the process of preparing the USB key for UEFI boot.

1. USB Flash Drive Preparation. The Dell Venue 8 Pro will only boot UEFI mode. The USB flash drive used to install the Windows must be configured to boot UEFI. First, create a UEFI bootable USB flash drive that can boot and run the Windows 8.1 installer.
   1. Download or use an existing Windows 8.1 (x86-32 Bit) Install DVD ISO file.
   2. Download the "Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool."
   3. Place the USB key in one of the local system USB ports.
   4. Run the DVD tool as administrator.
   5. Select the Windows 8.1 installer ISO and click "Next".
   6. From the next screen that is provided, select "USB device".
   7. Chose the desired USB device from the drop down menu and click "Begin copying".
   8. Wait for the tool to complete the USB build and close it.
   9. Create a folder on the local system. Example, "C:\Win8dot1-USB-Boot"
   10. Copy "ALL" the files and folders on the USB key to the folder on the local system
   11. Reformat the USB key as FAT32. (The DVD tool defaults to NTFS. UEFI must boot from FAT32 for the USB device.)
   12. After the format is complete, copy all the files and folders from the local folder back to the USB device
   13. The USB device will now boot to the Windows installer and is ready to use to install Windows 8.1 on the Venue 8 Pro 5830.

Note: Hardware required to perform the USB Windows 8.1 installation include the following: Micro USB – USB convertor, USB mouse, USB keyboard and USB flash. A powered hub is highly recommended. (The Venue 8 Pro USB port can only provide 500mA of usable current. USB device may not work if totally required current is more than 500mA, this depends on your USB device.)

Note: Until the chipset drivers are loaded, the touchscreen will not function. Until the Windows 8.1 install is complete and the chipset driver is installed, you will make all input using the attached USB mouse and keyboard.

5. After pressing enter, the system will then boot to the USB flash drive and start the Windows 8.1 installer. Follow the installer prompts to complete the Windows 8.1 installation process.
6. Once Windows 8.1 is installed, the device drivers and supporting applications must be installed to provide full system functionality.
7. The drivers and apps can be downloaded Dell support website and placed on a USB flash drive and then copied to a temporary folder on the system. After the driver files and apps have been copied to the system, they can be manually installed or installed by script(s).
8. The recommended install order for device drivers and apps is:

Required drivers:

1. BIOS updates
2. Firmware device updates (Touchpad, HDD, WWAN,..)
3. Intel Atom chipset/Integrated Graphics driver package
4. Qualcomm Network/BT Drivers
5. Intel TXEI Driver

Optional drivers:

1. WWAN DW5570 Driver
2. LTE DW5808 Driver

Automated Windows 8.1 image install/deployment through Enterprise solutions such as Microsoft’s SCCM.

Built into the BIOS, the Venue 8 Pro 5830 contains PXE code for an external USB to Ethernet adapter to PXE boot, the adapter must be built around the ASIX AX88772 Ethernet IC (Integrated Circuit). Both AX88772B and AX88772C versions are supported.

The following manufacturer’s USB to Ethernet adapters have the correct Ethernet IC and are detected by the Venue 8 Pro 5830 BIOS as PXE bootable devices:
