Operating System Installation

Chapter 3

This document explains how to install Linux and VxWorks operating Ssstems on 
the EPC-6315. 

Installing Red Hat Linux

You can install Red Hat using either of these methods:

•

Install Red Hat on a separate computer..

•

Install Red Hat over the serial port.

The following sections describe how.

Installing Red Hat on a separate computer

To install Red Hat, use a separate computer with a VGA card and prepare a hard 
drive for transfer to the EPC-6315:

1. Install a hard drive and CD-ROM drive in a PC with a VGA card. Ensure that 

the hard drive is the master on the primary cable. 

2. Power on the system, insert the Red Hat bootable CD, and install Linux with 

the configuration you desire.

3. Reboot the system and log in at the Linux command prompt as “root”.
