Modular Server System Service Guide
One possible way to install an operating system is as follows:
1. Connect a remote client machine to the management module in the Intel
®
Modular
Server System MFSYS25/MFSYS35 via a cross-over cable.
2. Connect a USB hub to one of the USB ports to allow more than two USB devices to
be used.
3. Connect a video monitor and USB mouse and keyboard to the front of the compute
module using the USB hub.
4. Connect a USB CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive to the compute module.
5. From the remote client machine, log into the management module and configure
storage and (optionally) networking for the compute module.
6. Power on the CD-ROM/DVDROM drive and insert the operating system install
media.
7. Power on the compute module and install the operating system.
For configuration details, see

Monitoring the Server System
The management module reports complete system health. From a remote client, an IT
administrator can easily monitor the state of the server system. For more details, see

Shutting Down the Server System
To remove power from the Intel
®
Modular Server System MFSYS25/MFSYS35, you
must first properly power down all compute modules. Next, disconnect all power cables
from the power source. For more information on powering down the compute module(s),
refer to the
