   Note The USB flash drive must use the FAT32 file system (Windows).
3. Download the following system update for your error code:
   xxxx-3143-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

9. Turn off the console.
10. Remove all console storage devices, including any USB flash drives, external hard drives or the internal hard drive on the Xbox 360 S console.

4. Slide the release towards the front of the console while pulling the hard drive door open.

6. Replace the hard drive cover before turning the console back on.

Solution 2: Simplify your network setup

Sometimes the firewall on a router blocks the update download. If your router has such a firewall, you have to temporarily simplify your network setup. Here’s how:

1. Turn off your console.
2. Unplug your modem from your router.
3. Using a standard Ethernet cable, connect your console directly to your modem. This will enable the update to bypass your router’s firewall.
   There should be no other devices plugged in to your modem.

4. Turn on your console.
5. Download the system update that you were trying to download.
6. Disconnect your console from your modem. Re-connect your modem to your router and your console to your router.
