You will need to boot your pc from the cd rom and connect your raq 10/100
port (eth0) to your pc using one of the supported NIC listed.

Follow the on screen instructions.

Grab a coffee and wait .... you will be rewarded with an out of the box
RAQ550.

You will then need to install all the relevant patches using Bluelink or
manually.
