Re: HMC Question -- MIDRANGE-L

Don, Exactly. While there is a big difference between 'Powering on' and 'Applying power' in this case it's the 'Applying Power' that causes the problem. So i5 System Setup Rule #0 *DO NOT* connect power cords to the i5 CEC until your HMC is fully installed and ready. And Rule #1: If at any time you are tempted to apply power to the i5 CEC see rule #0.

Al,

People need to basically OVER emphasise the "then and ONLY then do you
power up the i5" part of that paragraph.

Until the HMC is ready, you leave that i5 UNPLUGED!

The HMC itself is all self contained.  It comes with a flat panel display,
mouse and a weird keyboard.  That's great, I have to master another
keyboard.  You must set up the HMC first and then set up the system.  The
instructions omit this fact.  So the sequence is put everything together,
apply power to the display, power up the HMC.  Then, and only then do you
apply power to the i5!

You can also set up so that you can drive it remotely through a browser,
but you must set up your security properly for this.
