  1. Power the EdgePC back ON by unplugging and reconnecting the power supply to verify that automatic power on has been set correctly

  2. After the bootloader, a green logo should appear and remain for a few minutes (the PC is downloading the latest version of the software)

  3. When finished, a startup checklist will appear for one minute

    • PC name

    • Network

    • Detected cams: in this case, we expect it to be 1

    • Data: standing with your face in front of the cam, it should turn green within a few seconds

  4. After the startup checklist, a background video with space will appear with the PC name overlaid. This means that the SW installation process is complete
