# 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.”

## 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).

## 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
  ```
