13B. WCC III - MCD INSTALLATION GUIDE

Test Memory

When selecting the Test Memory option, you should only use this
option to test the RAM and RAM I/O functions. This test will run
indefi nitely with a series of sequential and random memory read/
writes. This not only exercises the memory but also the CPU and
motherboard I/O function as it pertains to RAM. Use this test to
“burn in” the system and/or to test the reliability of the WCC III-
MCD2 board/cpu/ram components. This test will not test Serial,
Parallel, HDD, or USB controllers.

Boot from fi rst hard drive

Select the Boot from fi rst hard drive option if you are wanting to
boot from the fi rst hard drive. This is useful if you have some
additional fi les (maybe in the future) or a specifi c fi le that was
added to the USB drive after it was created.

This option is available but if you’re not booting from the USB
drive then best practice is to remove it before starting up the MCD2.

The time zone is default set to US/Central time and the drive
partitions are automatically created and installation proceeds
without further input from the user.

Installation of the base system (Ubuntu – Linux)]

Now the base Linux Ubuntu operating system is being installed,
and the installation screen should be displaying the various
different fi les information in the middle of this screen. The
installation process has been automated and there should not be
any prompting for further information unless a problem occurs.
If problems occur, a restart of the process is best. Make sure that
you have both the SATA DOM and the CompactFlash installed;
otherwise, partitioning and formatting of those solid state drives
won’t be done.

The Linux operating system installation continues for 3-5 minutes
at which point other non-Linux operating system software is also
installed such as the webmin interface.

Finishing the installation: At this point, the Linux operating system
for the WCCIII-MCD2 is installed, is now creating the wcciii
user account information, and is installing the backtask program.
Other confi guration fi les that are needed for proper operation of the
WCCIII–MCD2 are also installed at this time:

The base Linux operating system installation is now fi nished. The
system will now reboot automatically and boot the freshly installed
OS. You may remove the USB key as soon as the system reboots.
