Operation
2.3.3 Getting Started
2.3.3.1 Configuration
1. Make sure all storage drives are installed (see “SAS/SATA II Storage Drive”
on page 2-9). Drive ID numbers are shown in
Figure 1-3 on page 1-4, Chapter
1. Changes may be made through the BIOS.
2. Make sure that a graphics card is installed in a PCI- Express slot; see
Figure 2-5 on page 2-7) and connect a multiscan monitor to the output con-
nector.
3. Attach a PS/2 keyboard and mouse to the appropriate connectors on the rear
I/O panel of the RES-22XR3 (see
Figure 1-5 on page 1-6)
4. Turn the system on (see previous section).
2.3.3.2 Linux Installation
The subject of installing the Linux operating system onto the RES-22XR3 is detailed
in Appendix C, “Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Installation”.
2.3.4 Turning the System Off
1. To turn the RES-22XR3 power off, press the system power on/off button (see
Figure 2-17 , page 2-18). This will shut down the system and turn off the
POWER
LED, as well as the LED on the power supply modules. The power
button behavior can be changed in the BIOS settings (see Chapter 3, "BIOS
Setup Utility").
As an alternative, a modern operating system (Windows 9x or newer and
Linux, for example) can turn off the system after a graceful OS software
shutdown.
Note: The X8DTH Motherboard is equipped with an onboard graphics solution.
A monitor can be connected to the VGA connector on the rear I/O panel. Install-
ing a PCI-E graphics card in your RES-22XR3 is not necessary unless desired.
Caution: Before turning your system off, make sure to save all open files, properly
close applications, and broadcast a warning to all users on any active networks.
