# Verifying the board installation

Complete the following steps to verify that you have installed the board correctly:

Step | Action
1 | Create a board keyword file to boot the CG 6565E board by copying or editing one of the sample board keyword files to match your specific configuration. Refer to Using board keyword files for more information.
2 | Use the pciscan utility to determine the bus and slot number. Refer to the Dialogic® NaturalAccess™ OAM System Developer’s Manual for information about pciscan.
3 | Edit the system configuration file, oamsys.cfg, to reflect the board locations in your system. You can use the oamgen utility (included with the OAM API software) to create a sample system configuration file for your system. The system configuration file created by oamgen may not be appropriate for your configuration. You may need to make further modifications to the file before running oamsys to configure your boards based on the file. For information about oamgen, refer to the Dialogic® NaturalAccess™ OAM System Developer’s Manual.
4 | Run oammon to monitor the status of all boards. The BootDiagnosticLevel keyword in the board keyword file determines the type of board diagnostic tests that take place when you boot the board. If a test fails, the test number is reported as an error code. You must be running oammon to view diagnostic results. For information about board level error messages, refer to the Dialogic® NaturalAccess™ Board and Driver Error Reference.
5 | Use the oamsys command to boot the board.
