RES-XR4-1U Installation Manual Version 1.5
2.4.3 Getting Started
2.4.3.1 Configuration
1. Make sure all storage drives are installed (see “Storage Drive” on page 2-17).
Drive ID numbers are shown in
Figure 2-15 on page 2-18, Chapter 2.
Changes may be made through the BIOS.
2. Make sure a multiscan monitor is connected to the VGA connector, or graphic
card video port (if a graphics card has been added to the system).
3. Attach a PS/2 keyboard and mouse to the appropriate connectors on the rear
I/O panel of the RES-XR4-1U (see See “Rear Panel I/O” on page 1-8.)
4. Turn the system on (see previous section).
2.4.3.2 Linux Installation
The subject of installing the Linux operating system onto the RES-XR4-1U is
detailed in Appendix C, “Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Installation”.
2.4.4 Turning the System Off
1. To turn the RES-XR4-1U power off, press and hold the system power on/off
button (see
Figure 2-27 , page 2-31) for at least four (4) seconds. This will shut
down the system and turn off the
POWER
LED as well as the LED on the
power supply unit(s).
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.
