2. Connect your monitor and keyboard or KVM unit.

3. Power up your system. On SRV-2 servers press the small button on the left front side. You might need to use a pen or other pointy object.

4. Wait for a complete power-up and login as root using the default password taridium200.

5. Run the following command and follow on-screen instructions
