Installation
When the bootable usbstick is created and the system is usb stick bootable, as described
above, the Automation PC can be installed with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. As explained

connect the Automation PC to the
a217

a CAT6 network cable.
Note: The Automation PC has two network devices: “ETH1” and “ETH2”. The usbstick is
configured for downloading the kickstart configuration file and the Red Hat Linux
installation files from “ETH2”. Thus when the network cable is plugged into “ETH1”
the installation will NOT work.
