power supply.

monitor, and UPS, refer to Chapter 7,
"Connecting the Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse,
and UPS."

will need to update the BIOS with the utility on
the Startup CD-ROM before installing the NOS

drivers/DiagTools/BIOS upgrade) on any
Windows PC with an HTML browser to create
the required diskettes for the various utilities on
the Startup CD-ROM. These utilities are used

Startup menu, start it by opening the
Startup.htm file, found at the root level of the
Startup CD.
