Hello Elanthamilan,

You have two main options when working to place Automation Runtime Embedded on an APC3100 for the first time (not talking about Hypervisor here).

1. Use a CFast card reader to perform an Offline Installation on the CFast card.  
_In AS v4: Project \> Project Installation \> Offline Install_  
See Scenario 2 in the AS Help: [B&R Online Help (br-automation.com)](https://help.br-automation.com/#/en/4/automationruntime%2Fenhancedtransfer%2Fscenarios%2Fsingle-initial-operation.html)

2. Use a USB drive + USB keyboard to install from a USB Install Drive.  
_In AS v4: Project \> Project Installation \> Create USB Install Drive_  
See… hmm. It looks like the AS 6 workflow has spilled over into the AS 4 online help. It is described in the AS Help file associated with AS v4.12 at the following GUID: fe6c37d1-5054-47a3-9600-eaa1ccc799c6 (in AS Help: ctrl+g, paste the GUID)  
Note that you will need a USB keyboard to boot from the USB drive and/or accept the installation on the APC/PPC.
