Preface
Please take the time to read any bodies of text that begin with IMPORTANT: or NOTE: because they
will contain either critical information to the task being explained or helpful information that maypertain
to a particular situation or aid in troubleshooting.
IMPORTANT: It is HIGHLY recommended that the Quickstart Kit (server, MicroPMUs, network switch)
is backed up by and uninterruptable power supply (UPS) in the event of a power surge or failure. This
will greatlyreduce the likelihood of damage caused to any of the hardware or potential data corruption
as a result of a power outage or fluctuation. A recommended UPS model is the APC-SMT750.
IMPORTANT: The Quickstart Server comes with a two terabyte solid state drive for database storage.
When the drive reaches about 98% capacity, the server will stop accepting data and new drive will
need to be used or the existing data will need to be backed up and a fresh database instance will need
to be created.
I. Conventions Used in This Manual and Usage Notes
Command Line input and code samples will be displayed in a bold, monospaced (fixed width) font, and
will be indented like so.
echo hello
Any command or example that can be executed on the command line by pressing the “Enter” key on
the keyboard will end with a carriage return character like so.
echo hello ↵
In this example, the command to type is echo hello, then to execute the command, press the “Enter”
key on the keyboard. If a series of commands are listed together, execute them in order from top to
bottom. Command line keywords and file paths such as /home/manager may also be shown in-line.
Comments on command usage and results will be de-noted to the right of the command with either a
‘#’character for command line entries or two forward slashes, //, for comments on source code
examples. Any text to the right of these characters is part of the comment and should not be included
with the displayed command. Comments will also be in monospace font and not bolded. For example.
sudo supervisorctl start all ↵# starts daemon services necessary for
operation of the Quickstart Server
The only part of the above command to actuallytype in the command line is sudo supervisorctl
start all, followed by a press of the “Enter” key on the keyboard.
