We installed the GPS cable on the top of all the cables going around the central building up to the new dgs rack.
During this operation, we found the lightning arrester (HP 58505A). It is now installed above the bottom end of the stairs. We still need to connect it to the ground.
We also found out that the gps receiver had the led 'Alarm' on. But because we now have the lightning arrester we are confident that we could connect the gps cable directly to the irig-b card.
We turned on the 2 pc and during the boot we could saw the hardware that we previously installed. The os 'CentOS' is already installed but we don't know the pcs password so we could not investigate more.
We connected the tcp-ip switch to the switch used by the standalone pc with a 10 m long ethernet cable and connected the 2 pcs to this switch.
While turning off the front end pc (offline) it updated some drivers.
