I.5.4 Stage 4: Installation

Now you have the boot media which enables the installation of the Mediant 1000 using the

serial connection (terminal) with RS-232 cable.

¾ To complete the installation, take these 9 steps:

1. Connect your Windows™ PC via serial cable to the Mediant 1000.

2. Connect the USB CD ROM device via USB cable to the Mediant 1000.

3. Power up the PC.

4. Open the Terminal application (e.g. HyperTerminal) on your Windows™ PC. Create a

new connection with the following settings:

• Connect Port = COM1

• Baudrate = 115200 (bits per second)

• Data Bits = 8

• Parity = None

• Stop Bits = 1

• Flow Control = None

5. Insert the “Boot CD” (created in Stage 3) into the USB CD-ROM.

6. Power up the Mediant 1000.

7. On the Terminal application, the BIOS phase starts and the LinuxTM installation

begins. The installation uncompresses the kernel, loads it and its drivers and starts the

interactive installation.

Note: After the BIOS phase, some badly formatted text may appear on the

screen.

8. The first interactive screen should be 'Choose a Language'. Select the language you

wish to use.
