Creating a Bootable USB with Asus Test Tool

Step 1: Download Required Files

1. Download Asus Linux Image: 
   
1. Save the Linux image file provided by Asus.
   
2. Download Memtest Tool:
   
1. Open a browser, search for "Memtest," and download the free version from the Passmark website.
   

Step 2: Prepare Bootable USB

1. Extract Memtest:
   
1. Locate the downloaded file and extract its contents.
   
2. Run ImageUSB Tool:
   • Locate and launch imageusb from the extracted Memtest files.
3. Insert USB Drive:
   • Connect your USB drive to the system.
4. Create Bootable USB:
   • Select the Asus-provided Linux image file (e.g., Rocky Linux) in imageusb and start the imaging process.
5. Complete Imaging:
   • Once the process is complete, safely remove the USB drive.

 Run Tests

1. Connect to the server:
   • Insert the bootable USB into the target server.
2. Boot from USB:
   • Power on the server and press F8 to select the bootable USB device.
3. Automatic Testing:
   • The test will begin automatically upon booting.
4. View Results:
   • Once completed, the results will be saved with the server’s IP address in a text file (e.g., ipaddress_sysinfo_iB.txt).
   • To view results, type the following commands:

     cat ipaddress_sysinfo_iB.txt
     ls
     

Copying Files from Rocky Linux to USB

1. Insert USB Drive:
   • Connect the USB drive to your computer.
2. Identify USB Drive:
   • Open a terminal and type:

     sudo fdisk -l
     

   • Note the identifier (e.g., /dev/sdb1) of your USB drive.
3. Mount USB Drive:
   • If not mounted, manually mount the drive:

     sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
     

4. Copy File to USB:
   • Navigate to the file’s directory:

     cd ~
     

   • Use the cp command to copy the file:

     cp filename.txt /mnt
     

   • Example:

     cp 192.168.7.251_sysinfo_iB.txt /mnt
     

5. Verify File Copy:
   • Check the contents of the USB drive:

     ls /mnt
     

6. Unmount USB:
   • Safely unmount the USB drive:

     sudo umount /mnt
     

Formatting a USB Drive in Rocky Linux

1. Identify USB Drive:
   • Run:

     sudo fdisk -l
     

2. Unmount USB:
   • Unmount the USB drive if mounted:

     sudo umount /dev/sdb1
     

3. Format USB:
   • For FAT32:

     sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdb1
     

   • For NTFS:

     sudo mkfs.ntfs /dev/sdb1
     

   • For ext4:

     sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
     

4. Verify Format:
   • Confirm formatting:

     sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb1
     

By following these steps, you can create bootable USB, test the server, transfer files from Rocky Linux, and format USB drives efficiently.
