2.3.3 Getting Started
2.3.3.1 Configuration
1. Make sure all SCSI/SATA II drives are installed (see “SCSI/SATA II Hard-
Disk Drive” on page 2-6). The lower (bottom) left drive will be automatically
configured as
SCSI ID0 (or SATA II ID2)
, the drive above that will be
configured as
SCSI ID1 (or SATA II ID1)
, and the third and highest
drive (if installed)
as SCSI ID2 (or SATA II ID0)
. Changes may be
made through the BIOS.
2. Make sure that a graphics card is installed in slot 6 (x16 PCI- Express ; see Fig-
ure 2-6 ) and connect a multiscan monitor to the SVGA or DVI connector.
3. Attach a PS/2 keyboard and mouse to the appropriate connectors on the rear
I/O panel of the RES-32DCX (see
B , Figure 1-5 on page 1-10)
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-32DCX is
detailed in Appendix D, “Red Hat Enterprise Linux Installation”.
2.3.4 Turning the System Off
1. To turn the RES-32DCX power off, press and hold the system power on/off
button (see
Figure 2-15 , page 2-18) for at least four (4) seconds. This will shut
down the system and turn off the
POWER
LED.
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.
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.
