Print the checklist

Print and fill the checklist during the process (it is still needed even if you are not assembling from scratch): rapidspace-HowTo.ORS.Assembly.Checklist

Open the ORS

Face the ORS connectors towards you, make sure the top case is on top (the thinner case), then unscrew the top case and open it carefully like a lid to left. Put a support under the top case so that it is level with the bottom case, otherwise the short cables inside will get damaged.

Take out the SSD and get the tar file

  • Take out the SSD, insert the SSD in the USB to M2 SATA adaptor and then plug the USB to your computer.
  • Run this command to get the tar file with all the certificates: 
    • laptop:~# cd WORKDIR/simpleran-maintenance/oss
laptop:~/WORKDIR/simpleran-maintenance/oss# sudo ./flash_image.py get_tar_file
  • Take out the SSD, insert the SSD in the USB to M2 SATA adaptor and then plug the USB to your computer.
  • Run this command to get the tar file with all the certificates: 
    • laptop:~# cd WORKDIR/simpleran-maintenance/oss
laptop:~/WORKDIR/simpleran-maintenance/oss# sudo ./flash_image.py get_tar_file

Reflash the SSD

  • If you are a Rapid.Space operator: Reflash the SSD with the slapos token from the project you want to put the ORS inside:
    • laptop:~/WORKDIR/simpleran-maintenance/oss# sudo ./flash_image.py register --tar-file ORSXXX.tar --slapos-token XXX ORSXXX BAND
    • laptop:~/WORKDIR/simpleran-maintenance/oss# sudo ./flash_image.py flash --tar-file ORSXXX.tar ORSXXX
    • Copy the tar file to ors-sr-vm in simpleran-maintenance/data
  • If you are not a Rapid.Space operator: Send the tar file to an operator and get a new one corresponding to the client's project, then reflash the SSD:
    • laptop:~/WORKDIR/simpleran-maintenance/oss# ./flash_image.py flash --tar-file ORSXXX.tar ORSXXX
