    77A typical experiment requires the following five steps:
    88
    9  1. Create reservation: [[BR]] Before you can access the testebed,you need to [http://www.orbit-lab.org/scheduler/ make a reservation] and get it approved by the  [wiki:Documentation/Scheduler reservation service]. First time users are '''highly''' encouraged to reserve time on a sandbox instead of the main grid, and start with this built-in [wiki:/Tutorials/HelloWorld Hello World] experiment. For the rest of this tutorial we will assume that user reserved sb1.

    14  3. Load the images: [[CollapsibleStart(Load an image on the nodes)]] [[Include(Documentation/Short/LoadImage)]][[CollapsibleEnd]] Prior to executing the "Hello World" experiment, users need to install an image on the hard disks of the nodes. For this tutorial we will use '''baseline.ndz'''. This image is built on top of '''Ubuntu 12.04''', and is pre-configured with the proper modules and start up scripts to take advantage of the rest of the Orbit [wiki:/Software software] / [wiki:/Hardware hardware]. The imaging process will turn the nodes back off after completing imageing. At this point the nodes disks are imaged with the ''baseline'' image and need to be turned back on before proceeding.

If the imaging process does not does not finish within the default timeout period, that period can be increase by using the '''-o''' flag (e.g. -o 1600). At this point the nodes disks are imaged with the ''baseline'' image and need to be turned back on before proceeding.
