This section presents the steps for installing ScaleArc on Bare Metal (Physical Machine) on legacy BIOS. To Install on UEFI, follow the instructions for custom installation. If needed, contact technical support at support@scalearc.com. 

Install ScaleArc on Bare Metal

1. Boot up the machine, with the ScaleArc installation cd inserted into the drive. This loads the Welcome to ScaleArc Installer screen.
   
    
    
   

   If your hardware has a component that requires a driver that is not part of the Linux installed with ScaleArc, you have the option to provide the correct driver during installation by selecting Specify Driver Disk & Install ScaleArc. Typically the driver is a network or disk controller card, very often on the PCI bus.

2. Select the Install ScaleArc option and hit Enter. 
3. The package begins to install.
   
    
    
4. Press any key to continue. If you have successfully installed ScaleArc, the system reboots and the screen displays a login prompt. 

Log in to ScaleArc

 This is the first time you are logging in to the ScaleArc system.  

1. Log in using the following credentials:
   
   

   Username:  admin   

   Password :  admin@123 

    
2. Select option 1 to change IP/Gateway/Subnet.  
   
    
   
   
3.  Enter the IP address, gateway, and subnet.  Enter 1 to apply settings.
   
   
   
   
4. Once the network is set, use the same IP address in your browser to see the ScaleArc user interface. If you have any trouble accessing the ScaleArc user interface make sure you have secured the network cabling and the switch/router configuration is in place. 
    
5. By default, ScaleArc uses a self-signed certificate for communication via HTTPS. Since it is self-signed, the screen displays an untrusted certificate alert while accessing ScaleArc. 
   
   
    
   
6. A successful network set brings up the Welcome screen.
   
    
    
7. You are ready to initialize ScaleArc.
