    1112== Flash The LV67-C bios == #Lv67cBios
     13=== 8/2011 ===
     14The second batch of Lv67c motherboards do not need to have their bios flashed, only reconfigured.
     15 1. Attach requisite cables and Cards
     16  * Serial Cable
     17  * Video card with monitor cable attached (Do not use the onboard VGA)
     18  * Ethernet cable into
     19  * 24 pin and 4 pin power headers
     20  * Keyboard
     21 1. Once the box has Posted (the beep) press delete quickly to get into the bios
     22 1. Adjust the following bios parameters
     23    {{{
     24    Main
     25    ->
     26     Boot Features
     27     ->->
     28       Halt on [No errors]
     29       Boot Time Diagnostic Screen [Disable]
     30    Advanced
     31    ->
     32     Advanced Chipset Control
     33     ->->
     34       On Board Lan N Boot PXE Rom [Enabled]
     35    ->
     36     Console Redirection
     37     ->->
     38       Com Port Address [Enabled]
     39       Baud Rate [155.2K]
     40       Continue C.R. after Post [On]
     41    }}}
     42    '''Note''' The N in Lan Rom refers to the Interface Number. If making a Gnu radio Node the device names will be shifted due to the additional NIC card. Thus the left most NIC will be eth1 which corresponds to Lan 1. If making a regular node then Lan 2 will be eth1 and only that rom should be enabled.
     43 1. Save these settings and exit. Once saved the node will power off and then back on again to "apply" the settings changes. You can unplug the node after the initial power off or let it reboot and then poweroff. You should be seeing output on the serial console now.
     44 1. Once powered off, remove the video card and attach the nic card (if needed). Connect the ethernet cable that carries Outdoor control vlan to the designated eth1 interface.
     45 1. Power on the node and hit del again to get back into the bios.
     46 1. In the boot menu choose the IBA GE slot 0100 v1321 boot item and exclude it from the boot sequence.
     47 1. Depending on node type you will see an item labeled IBA GE slot xxxx v1324. Where xxxx is the hex address for the device (e.g. 0900 for Lan 1). Set this device to be !#1 in the boot sequence. Save and exit.
     48 1. The node should now attempt to boot from pxe and if dhcp and tftp are setup correctly, the node should be able to boot into the pxe image.

     50=== 6/2011 ===
    1251 You will need the USB Thumb drive which has the bios and the utility to boot the motherboard from.[[BR]]
    1352 You will need a Video Card to flash the bios, the motherboard does not have one.[[BR]]
