MCS 5100 RTP Media Portal Basics

While the system is rebooting, quickly change the console
connection from COM1 to COM2. Use the escape sequence
OQ to enter the BIOS set up screen again.

If you do not see output on the terminal, make sure the terminal
is set to 9600/8/n/1 and reset the CPV5370 card to try again.

When prompted, enter the supervisor password to ensure the
password was correctly set and is using COM2 as the console
port.

Insert the Red Hat 6.2 installation CD in the CD-ROM drive for
the domain (the top CD-ROM drive is Domain A).

Press the Esc key to exit BIOS without making any changes.
The system will reboot.

Remove the serial cable from COM2, and connect the serial
cable from the Terminal Server to that port.

Installing the base Red Hat system

The RTP Media Portal uses the operating system Red Hat 6.2.

The installation script provides a graphic user interface (GUI). Use the
Next or Done keys to move to the next screen, the Tab key to move
between items/buttons, the Space key to select and deselect items, the
Enter key to expand items for editing, and arrow keys for moving
between items in a list.

If it is necessary to re-enter the BIOS from the Terminal Server, use the
Escape key sequence OQ .

From the terminal server

Establish a terminal session to the Host CPU through the
terminal server.

After the system boots from the Red Hat CD, the Red Hat
installation menu appears. Type the following:
text console=ttyS1,9600n8

IMPORTANT: If the first character is not quickly typed, the Red
Hat installation script will use the default automatic option and
begin installation.

If entry is not typed correctly, reset the card using the reset
button in the front of the 5370 card.

Select English for the Language Selection, then select OK.

In the Red Hat welcome screen, Choose the Install Custom
System installation.
