Introduction
1.1 Overview
This document describes the procedure for installing the BBS software on the PrAMC7211blade in 4440 chassis.
While performing the netboot Installation procedure, all the existing software on hard disk
will be completely replaced. All the data previously kept on these drives will be lost and the
data cannot be retained. So backup your data to a server prior to performing these
installations.

PrAMC-7211 Software Installation
2.1 Installation Prerequisites
You should have an external:
TFTP Server - Image is downloaded using TFTP.
DHCP Server - Boot configuration required for software installation is provided through
DHCP configuration.
Extract the BBS image in the /tftpboot directory of the external TFTP Server.
2.2 PrAMC-7211 Software Packages
The PrAMC-7211 installation software is packaged in a single tar file PrAMC721x-WR-3.0BBS-RM01-1.0.2.tar.bz2. Extract this tar file in the /tftpboot directory of the external
TFTP server.
Chapter 2
After extracting the tar, PrAMC721x-WR-3.0-BBS-RM01-1.0.2 directory will be created
with the following files/directories:

It is not mandatory to extract the BBS tar ball in /tftpboot directory only. It can be
extracted any where but keep the following in mind:
1. The TFTP server should be able to send the files from that extracted location.
2. After extracting the BBS tar ball, the contents of PrAMC721x-WR-3.0-BBS-RM01-
1.0.2 directory should not be altered.
3. The DHCP configuration should pick pxelinux images from the respective directories,
that is, from xyz/ PrAMC721x-WR-3.0-BBS-RM01-1.0.2/disk/pxelinux.0
for disk installation and
from xyz/ PrAMC721x-WR-3.0-BBS-RM01-1.0.2/usb/pxelinux.0 for usb
installation.

PrAMC-7211 Software Installation
Example:
1. After untarring the contents of PrAMC721x-WR-3.0-BBS-RM01-1.0.2 , disk, usb, and
utils can be moved to any location which can be accessed by TFTP server.
The contents of PrAMC721x-WR-3.0-BBS-RM01-1.0.2 are moved to:
/tftpboot/blades/7211
/tftpboot/blades/7211/disk
/tftpboot/blades/7211/usb
/tftpboot/blades/7211/utils
/tftpboot/blades/7211/bsp
2. For disk based installation, modify the filename parameter in dhcpd.conf to
blades/7211/disk/pxelinux.0
As part of linuxrc, we assume that for disk installation the files that need to be picked will
be located in blades/7211/disk, that is, pxelinux.0 directory.
3. For usb based installation, modify the filename parameter in dhcpd.conf to
blades/7211/usb/pxelinux.0
2.3 Installation Procedure
This section describes the installation procedure for PrAMC- 7211 BBS software. The following
ways of installations are supported:
Disk based
USB based
2.3.1 Disk Based Installation
For installing the BBS software on PrAMC-7211 blade in 4440 chassis, perform the following:
1. Setup DHCP configuration, see Setting Up DHCP Configuration on page 17.
2. Modify the contents of PrAMC721x-WR-3.0-BBS-RM01-
