17
Attach a USB CD-ROM drive to one of the USB Type-A connectors on the VL-CBR-4005B
paddleboard.
2. Connect Power Source
Plug the power adapter cable VL-CBR-0809 into the main power connector on the
baseboard. Attach the motherboard connector of the ATX power supply to the adapter.
Attach an ATX power cable to any 3.5-inch drive that is not already attached to the power
supply (hard drive or CD-ROM drive).
3. Review Configuration
Before you power up the system, double-check all the connections. Make sure all cables are
oriented correctly, that adequate power will be supplied to the Osprey, and all attached
peripheral devices.
4. Power On
Turn on the ATX power supply and the video monitor. If the system is correctly configured,
a video signal should be present.
5. Install Operating System
Install the operating system according to the instructions provided by the operating system
manufacturer.
BIOS Setup
The Osprey permits the storage of user-defined BIOS settings. This enables you to retrieve those
settings from cleared or corrupted CMOS RAM, or battery failure. All BIOS defaults can be
changed, except the time and date. BIOS defaults are updated using the BIOS Update Utility.
CAUTION
: If BIOS default settings make the system unbootable and prevent the user
from entering the BIOS Setup utility, the Osprey must be serviced by the factory.
Default BIOS Setup Values
After CMOS RAM clears, the system loads default BIOS parameters the next time the board
powers on. The default CMOS RAM setup values are used in order to boot the system whenever
the main CMOS RAM values are blank, or when the system battery is dead or has been removed
from the board.
Operating System Installation
The standard PC architecture used on the Osprey makes the installation and use of most of the
standard x86-based operating systems very simple. The operating systems listed on the
page use the standard installation procedures provided by the
maker of the operating system. Special optimized hardware drivers for a particular operating
system, or a link to the drivers, are available on the
