The physical machine is expected to be racked and stacked according to the respective manual.
 
In case you encounter any issues during the installation process, we kindly ask you to send an email with the error message to:
 
support@internetcomputer.org
 
 
 
Many thanks for your efforts in building the Internet Computer.
 
 
 
== Requirements ==
 
* A USB (3.0 speed that can hold at least 4GB) to put the image file on (A faster USB will allow the process to go much faster.)
 
* The Nitrokey HSM for your data center.
 
* A USB hub is helpful at some data centers, so you may wish to have one available.
 
* It is recommended that you have a plan for providing details if troubleshooting assistance is needed. We recommend that you track the serial number (on the pull-out tab) for each server and compare the screenshots in the directions with each step. If assistance is needed, you will need to provide:
 
** The serial number of the server in question
 
** Which step was last completed
 
** A screenshot or video showing any results that are different from what is expected.
 
** Verification of the HSM key and config.ini file that is being used.
 
 
 
== I. Download installation image ==
 
 
 
# Download the IC-OS disk image here: <br> https://download.dfinity.systems/blessed/ic/f736069ae6a6e39a73f211c587705e0f8dfdfb06/setup-os/disk-img/disk-img.tar.gz <br>

*: <syntaxhighlight lang="shell">tar xzvf ~/Downloads/disk-img.tar.gz</syntaxhighlight>
 
 
 
=== Linux / Ubuntu ===
 
* Open the Terminal and type:
 
*: <syntaxhighlight lang="shell">sha256sum ~/Downloads/disk-img.tar.gz</syntaxhighlight>
