options configure the installation options and click next review the summary and click finish the virtual machine will display in the virtual machines section select the new virtual machine and click settings select scsi controller then, click dvd drive and add for media , select image file and select the manufacturing connect edge iso file click apply and then ok continue with the following steps to further configure the virtual machine step 4 configure virtual machine to configure the virtual machine from the virtual machines pane in the hyper v manager, click the virtual machine name the virtual machine name appears in the actions pane and includes sub menus from the actions pane, click settings under the virtual machine name the settings for new vm dialog box appears from the settings for new vm dialog box, configure the following firmware make sure that dvd drive with image file is in first place for the boot order security select the enable trusted platform module check

down list click apply , and then click ok to close the settings dialog box click the connect sub menu the starting the new vm dialog box appears a message appears that the vm is turned off and prompts to you to start click start the installation for the virtual machine begins step 5 run operating system installer you will run the operating system installer that will install manufacturing connect edge notes during the installation, the progress bar may decrease at times due to partitioning the time to complete the installation is based on the size of the hard disk drive large disk drives will cause the installation to take longer to partition the disk and therefore longer to complete setting up the virtual machine to install the edge device after the device initiates the installer, respond to the questions in the terminal user interface (tui) welcome to operating system installer are you installing over serial (for advanced users)? yes/no enter no , and then press enter select install operating system , and then select ok use the arrow keys to navigate to selections select the partition to install, and then select ok this list is device specific typically, the installation location

installation location by selecting yes if you select no , you are returned to the beginning of the installation a second verification ensures that you are overwriting the correct device partition during the formatting process select yes to continue formatting the device and installing the operating system the installer indicates its progress, followed by a success message select yes to power off the device close the virtual machine dialog box from the actions pane, click the settings sub menu again under the new virtual machine name the settings for new vm dialog box appears from the settings for new vm dialog box, configure the following scsi controller select dvd drive and click remove to delete this drive firmware make sure that hard drive with image file is in first place of the boot order click apply , and then click ok to close the settings dialog box the virtual machine is ready to run from the hard drive step 6 run virtual machine now that the edge device is installed, you can run the virtual machine to run the virtual machine from the actions pane in the hyper v manager, click connect under the new virtual machine name from the virtual machine window, click start , and then select continue from the pop up window the virtual machine boots up and displays the ip address / url to access using a web browser step 7 log in to manufacturing connect edge
