Step1: Create a Bootable USB Flash Drive
You will first need to create a bootable USB flash drive.
To create a bootable USB flash drive:
- Request an ISO file from Belden.
Important: The boot mode should be UEFI.
After preparing the USB drive, choose the instructions that are relevant for the device for which you are installing Belden Horizon Data Operations.
Step 2: Install on a Device
There are two methods to installing Belden Horizon Data Operations on a device:
- Install on a Device with Graphic Capability
- Install on a Device with No Graphic Capability (Headless Installer)
Select the method relevant for your device.
These instructions are applicable for VGA devices that can render the graphics displayed in the installer.
Install on a Device with Graphic Capability
Complete these steps to install from a USB flash drive.
To install on a device with graphic capability:
- Insert the USB flash drive (USB installation media) that contains the Belden Horizon Data Operations Installer image into the USB port on the gateway device. To execute the installer, the gateway device must boot from the USB flash drive.
- Perform one of the following:
- Start the gateway device.
- Reboot the gateway device from the USB flash drive to begin the installation. If the gateway device is not booting from the USB drive, bring up a list of boot devices. Each manufacturer has a specific button which must be pressed immediately after the device has been turned on or rebooted. The button is briefly displayed when the device boots after or while the logo is displayed. Common buttons are F12, the Windows key, and F9. Refer to your IPC manufacturer for more information.
- After the device initiates the installer, respond to the questions in the terminal user interface (TUI). Welcome to Operating System Installer. Are you installing over Serial (for advanced users)? Yes/No :
- Enter No, and then press Enter.
Select Install Operating System, and then select OK. Use the arrow keys to navigate to selections.
