Getting Started With the SEL-3355-2
Date Code 20180212

Most operating systems are distributed on DVD media. To install the operating system from a DVD, perform the
following steps:
Step 1. Attach the external DVD-ROM drive to the USB port on the SEL-3355-2.
Step 2. Insert the installation DVD into the DVD-ROM drive and start/restart the SEL-3355-2. The
SEL-3355-2 should start from the DVD automatically.
If the SEL-3355-2 fails to start from the DVD, restart the system and immediately press
<F5>
to
load the
Boot Menu
. Verify that the DVD-ROM drive is listed as a boot option. If it is present,
select it using the up and down keys and press
<Enter>
.
Note:
If the DVD-ROM drive fails to boot when selected, then the DVD is not bootable. If the DVD
reader is not listed among the boot devices, then the reader is not compatible with the SEL-3355-2
firmware.
When the operating system installation is complete, install any SEL System Monitor (SysMon) and SEL drivers
that are available for the installed operating system. Refer to the Literature and Software DVD for more
information about which operating systems have SysMon and driver packages.
Install Applications
Note:
Perform the steps in this section if you have additional applications to install in the SEL-3355-2.
If the application is distributed on CD or DVD, you will need an external USB DVD-ROM drive.
If the installer is a file or set of files, the simplest method of transferring these files to the SEL-3355-2 is to use a
USB drive. Take precautions to ensure that the SEL-3355-2 is not infected with malware during the process of
transferring files. Scanning the USB drive with an up-to-date antivirus package prior to plugging the drive into the
SEL-3355-2 is highly recommended.
Create a Backup With SEL BaRT
It is highly recommended to create a backup of the SEL-3355-2 once the system is fully configured. A copy of the
SEL Backup and Recovery Tool (SEL BaRT) is included on the
SEL
Computing Products Literature and Software
DVD. SEL BaRT provides an easy method of making a backup of an entire disk and storing it in a single file on a
USB storage device.
For further information, please refer to the SEL BaRT application guide on the
SEL
Computing Products
Literature and Software DVD.
