Separately Released and Optional Distribution Components

In most cases, attached devices are recognized and addressable on installation (as is
a standard USB keyboard, for example), although hot-plugged devices may not be.
USB 2.0 interface specifications are supported.
After installation, you may need to set serial-port flow control and data-rate
characteristics for attaching serial data communications equipment or data terminal
equipment, such as an asynchronous terminal, a printer, or attached modem. Note that
the Linux operating system and most application software treat data communications
equipment somewhat differently from data terminal equipment.

Default System Initialization and Run-Level Control

Default system initialization and run-level-controlled process configuration are basic
and not tailored specifically for server operations. You will need to configure the system
as required for your specific application.

Default User Environments, Shells, and Access Control

The GRUB bootloader package supplied with the Linux distribution includes a
restricted GRUB shell that can be entered at system boot for boot loader configuration
and boot recovery operations. See grub(1) for a discussion of this feature. Make sure
that GRUB requires root privilege, and password-protect this shell for system security.

System Indicators and Switches

See the User Guide and User Guide (Setup) for your system for information about the
LED indicators and switches of your ftServer system.
Separately Released and Optional Distribution Components
You can install and use provided optional tools. You can install optional packages by
using the rpm command to select and install packages from a mounted CD-ROM drive.

Some installed and optional utilities may depend on
specific versions of other packages required by your
system for fault-tolerant operation. Always use the
software packages that are provided with the Express Builder
distribution, unless you have good reason to replace a
package. Before updating a distribution package, use rpm
