# TitanOS Image Installation Tutorial

{% hint style="success" %}
**High Earnings Guide:**\
1\. New nodes require a 3–7 day deployment period. Please be patient—earnings will gradually stabilize after this phase.\
2\. Keep your device online 24/7, especially during evening peak hours (18:00–24:00 UTC+8).\
3\. Ensure both Agent status and Service status show as normal. If any issues occur, contact customer support promptly.\

## system requirements:

* Upstream Speed: Single line upstream ≥100M; Single device upstream ≥500M.
* For single-line networks, it is advisable to have public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (or multiple IPs), as this will significantly increase rewards.

## Step 1: Download the System Image

* Download ISO Image:\
  Link: <https://pcdn.titannet.io/test4/rom/ubuntu-22.04.5-titan-v2.iso>\
  MD5 Checksum: af00319288f84596951c150b96e3dfd7
* Verify Image Integrity:\
  After downloading, use md5sum or checkisomd5 to verify the MD5 checksum to ensure the file is not corrupted.

## Step 2: Create a Bootable USB Drive

* Recommended Tool for Windows Users: Use Rufus to create a bootable USB.\
  Download Rufus:\
  Link: <https://pcdn.titannet.io/test4/rom/rufus-3.19-20250528.exe>
* Create USB with Rufus:
  1. Insert the USB drive into your PC and select it in Rufus’s “Device” dropdown.
  2. In the “Boot selection” section, choose the downloaded ISO image.
  3. Click “Start.”

  6. Wait for the writing process to complete.

## Step 3: Install the System

* Warning: System installation will format the target disk, resulting in data loss. Back up important data beforehand.
* Enter BIOS:
  1. Insert the bootable USB into the device and power it on.
  2. Enter BIOS settings (access methods vary; common keys include F2, F12, or Del—refer to the device manual or screenshot).

* Set USB as Boot Device:
  1. Navigate to the BIOS “Boot” menu.
  2. Set the USB (e.g., “USB HDD: Generic Flash Disk”) as the first boot option.

  3. Select \[Done] and press Enter to proceed.
* Select Disk:
  1. If multiple disks are present, choose the target disk for installation.

## Troubleshooting

* System Login:\
  Username: titan\
  Password: titan
* Troubleshooting Tips:\
  If the QR code does not appear after a long wait, log into the system to check network connectivity and verify the titan-agent service status:bash

  ```bash
  systemctl status titan-agent
  ```

  Ensure the service status is active. If normal, return to the login interface and wait a moment for the QR code to appear.
