Setup Guide

3. Insert a blank CD-R into the CD-R drive.
4. Right-click on the AWMS Installation CD .iso disc image file and select “burnatonce”.
When the burnatonce program opens, click the Write button. If burnatonce has not
automatically associated to the .iso disc image, run burnatonce manually and select the AWMS
install image from the Load menu.
For help with CD burning software other than burnatonce, please refer to the user guide for that
product and reference the option to create a CD from .iso disc image. With Nero, for instance, this
option may be found under File > Burn Image or Recorder > Burn Image.
Server Requirements
AWMS runs on a dedicated system and is compatible with most standard PC or rack-mount server
hardware. The AWMS Installation CD will format the hard disk, install the CentOS operating system,
and install the AWMS software. Please refer to the Dell PowerConnect W Airwave Sizing Guide for
minimum hardware requirements or contact dell support http://support.dell.com. Installation on
virtual machines may suffer from poor performance due to a current incompatibility with the operating
system kernel. The hardware must support Red Hat Enterprise 5.0.
