5 Operating System Environment
5.1  Start-up Procedures 
The operating system and Fiery system software are loaded 
from the local HDD during startup.
The BIOS resident on the Fiery motherboard is read-only 
and stores the information needed to boot up the operating 
system. Changes to the BIOS (or removal of the BIOS) 
prevent the Fiery server from functioning properly.
The Configuration Page lists the values specified during 
set-up. Some information, such as FTP proxy information, 
password information, and SNMP Community Names, are 
not included on the Configuration Page.
5.2 Linux
Linux systems do not include a local interface that allows 
access to the operating system. 
5.2.1  Linux Anti-Virus Software
The Linux operating system used on integrated Fiery 
servers is a dedicated OS for integrated Fiery servers only. 
It has all OS components needed by a integrated Fiery 
server, but not some OS components on some general 
purpose Linux systems, such as Ubuntu. In addition to 
having better performance, this dedicated OS is not subject 
to the same virus vulnerability as a general purpose Linux 
system and Microsoft OS. The anti-virus software designed 
for general purpose Linux OS may not be able to run on 
integrated Fiery servers. 
5.3 Windows 7 Professional 
The Windows-based Fiery server ships with a default 
Windows 7 Administrator password. It is recommended for 
the administrator to change the password upon installation.  
It is also highly recommended to change the password 
regularly to comply with the organization’s IT policy. 
Administrator password gives a user full access to the  
Fiery server locally and/or from a remote workstation.  
That includes, but is not limited to, the file system, system 
security policy, and registry entries. In addition, this user  
can change the administrator password and to deny anyone 
else access to the Fiery server.
5.3.1  Microsoft Security Patches
Microsoft regularly issues security patches to address 
potential security holes in the Windows 7 operating system. 
The default setting of Windows Updates is to notify users 
of patches but don’t download. The Fiery Administrator can 
change the default setting in Windows Update or install 
manually the security patches. 
5.3.2  SMS Tools
EFI has its own dedicated system update tool for its Windows-
based systems. This tool handles the retrieval of all applicable 
MS security patches and Fiery software updates. The Fiery 
server does not support any third-party SMS tools for retrieving 
and pushing updates to the Fiery server.
5.3.3  Windows Anti-Virus Software
Administrators can install anti-virus software on Fiery 
servers with FACI kits. A local GUI is required for proper 
configuration of anti-virus software. Anti-virus software is 
most useful in a local GUI configuration, where users have 
the potential to infect the Fiery server with a virus through 
standard Windows actions.
For Fiery servers without a FACI kit, it is still possible to 
launch anti-virus software on a remote PC and scan a 
shared Fiery hard drive. However, EFI suggests that the 
Fiery administrator work directly with the anti-virus software 
manufacturer for operational support.
EFI ensures Fiery servers’ compatibility with Anti-Virus 
software by testing the latest releases of Norton’s Symantec 
Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition, McAfee Virus 
Scan Enterprise, Microsoft Security Essentials, and Trend 
Micro Worry-Free Business Security Advanced software on 
Fiery servers. While EFI does not provide anti-virus software 
on Fiery servers, we recommend that administrators refer to 
section 3.1 Network Ports in this document when configuring 
an anti-virus solution so that legitimate network-based 
services on Fiery servers can operate without interruption.
EFI supports the use of anti-virus solutions as long as they 
are used in accordance with this specification. EFI does not 
support or give any warranty regarding the efficacy of any 
anti-virus software.
5.4  Email Viruses
Typically, viruses transmitted via e-mail require some type 
of execution by the receiver. Attached files that are not PDL 
files are discarded by the Fiery server. The Fiery server also 
ignores e-mail in RTF or HTML or any included JavaScript. 
Aside from an e-mail response to a specific user based on 
a received command, all files received via e-mail are treated 
as PDL jobs. Please see the details on Fiery e-mail printing 
workflow in Section 6.4 in this document.
