On the first (or only) server (the one you want configured as Node 1),
insert the USB stick into a USB port and boot (or reboot) the server. Leave
the second server off.
If you’re replacing the system software, the server boots from the DVD,
and the installation commences. About 15-20 minutes later, the DVD ejects
and the server reboots.
If you’re not replacing the system software (or if you are, after the reboot),
the server reads its network and system parameters from the USB stick
and applies them.

Wait for the front panel LCD to display DMA Ready . Then disconnect
the USB stick and if applicable, remove the disk. If you’re installing a
single-node system, skip to step
17 .

If you’re installing a two-node cluster, turn on the second server
(Node 2). If you’re replacing the system software, insert the Polycom
DMA system installation disk into the DVD drive, turn off the server, and
turn it back on.
If you’re replacing the system software, the server boots from the DVD,
and the installation commences. About 15-20 minutes later, the DVD ejects
and the server reboots.
If you’re not replacing the system software (or if you are, after the reboot),
the server detects and gets its configuration settings from Node 1, and
joins the cluster. When done, both servers’ LCDs display DMA Clustered .
