Installing the Operating System
For more detailed information about your operating system, refer to the documentation
provided by the operating system vendor and to the PT Web site.
To install the operating system:
1. Install peripheral devices. CompactPCI devices are automatically configured by the BIOS during the
boot sequence.
2. Most operating systems require initial installation on a hard drive from a USB CD/DVD or PXE. These
devices should be configured, installed, and tested with the supplied drivers before attempting to load
the new operating system.
3. Read the release notes and installation documentation provided by the operating system vendor. Be
sure to read any readme files or documents provided with the OS as these typically note
documentation discrepancies or compatibility problems.
4. Select the appropriate boot device order in the setup boot menu depending on the OS installation
media used. To boot from a USB CD-ROM, first connect the USB drive, then enter the BIOS setup
utility and move the “CD-ROM” device to the top of the boot list (or above any other bootable
devices).
5. Proceed with the OS installation as directed, being sure to select appropriate device types if
prompted. Refer to the appropriate hardware manuals for specific device types and compatibility
modes of PT products. A link to PT manuals is available in the topic
“User Documentation,” on page
117
.
6. When installation is complete, reboot the system and set the boot device order in the setup boot
menu.
Note: For more information about the BIOS setup utility, see the topic
“BIOS Configuration
Overview,” on page 40
.
USB CD/DVD
Note: Win XP and Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4 Update 3 (AMD64/Intel EM64T) have been
validated for this installation (pending).
To run the BIOS setup utility with a bootable OS installation CD or DVD in an external USB
drive:
1. Cable an external USB CD/DVD drive to the USB port on the CPC5565.
2. Ensure the USB CD/DVD drive is powered on.
3. Insert the bootable OS installation CD/DVD into the drive.
4. Run the CPC5565 BIOS setup utility by pressing the F2 key while the SBC is booting up.
5. Ensure that the USB device is listed in the Boot Devices and is above any other device that may have
a bootable OS image (i.e. hard drive).
a. Use the right arrow key to highlight the Boot category in the setup menu. The Boot Settings
information appears in the main setup screen.
b. Arrow down to Boot Device Priority and press <Enter>. The boot order list appears and the top
position in the boot order is highlighted.
