Ubuntu installation

Due to recent updates / changes to our platform all BCU-1525 owners require a BMC firmware update to use new and future bitstreams. If you have not already performed the update necessary to operate the 60Mh/s Lyra2z it is recommended you update your BMC to the most recent revision. You can find update instructions below.

Boot from the USB/DVD that contains the Ubuntu installation files. As soon as your computer boots you should see the welcome window. Select your language from the list and click on Install Ubuntu.

Note: You might get a different screen if pre-existing installations or other operating systems are detected from your hard drive.

Review the details and click on Continue if everything looks correct.

If you are connected to the Internet, your location will be detected automatically. Check if your location is correct and click Continue to proceed. If you're unsure of your time zone, type the name of your local town or city or use the map to select your location.

Enter your name, and your desired name for this machine. Pick a username and a strong password. You can also choose to enable automatic login by selecting Log in automatically. Click Continue.

The installer will now complete in the background. This should only take a few minutes, depending on the speed of your machine and internet connection.

As soon as the installation is done, click on Restart Now.

After the restart, you should now see the login screen -- or the desktop, if you have enabled Automatic Login in Step 7.
