Hardware Setup
Installing the Hurricane-PM is very straightforward. Unpack the board observing the usual
electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions.
Caution
Before you touch the board, make sure that you have discharged yourself
and your gear towards a grounded terminal. Damages due to ESD are usually
not immediately visible and will only show up later as failures in the field.
If applicable, mount your cooling device.
Caution
Never operate the Hurricane-PM without suitable cooling devices. Failing this
could destroy the Hurricane-PM.
Connect a display monitor to the VGA connector and keyboard and mouse PS/2 or to USB
connectors. Add a suitable hard drive and/or a CD drive to the configuration.
Caution
Never connect or disconnect peripherals like HDD's while the board's power
supply is connected and switched on!
Connect a standard ATX supply and switch on the power.
The display shows the BIOS messages. If you want to change the standard BIOS settings, press the
<DEL> key to enter the BIOS menu. See BIOS chapter for more details.
If you need to load the BIOS default values, press the <Insert> key during startup. This forces the
BIOS to load the factory settings from FlashPROM.
The Hurricane-PM boots from CD drives, USB floppy, USB stick, harddisk or network. Provided that
any of these is connected and contains a valid operating system image, the display then shows the
boot screen of your operating system.
Note
Not all USB devices are suitable to boot the Hurricane-PM from.
If there are problems, please use another device from another manufacturer.
