## Introduction
11+
12+
The AOOSTAR WTR PRO is a low-power x86 NAS with four drive bays. It is a faster and cheaper alternative to the HPE ProLiant MicroServer. For instance the author bought one as their personal NAS.
13+
14+
While the WTR PRO is designed to run standard Linux distributions, the Rocky Linux installer will not boot out-of-the-box on it. However, Rocky Linux can still be installed.
15+
16+
## Prerequisites and assumptions
17+
18+
The following are the minimum requirements for using this procedure:
19+
20+
* A Rocky Linux installer USB
21+
22+
* An AOOSTAR WTR PRO system
23+
24+
## Booting the Rocky Linux installer
25+
26+
First, we will boot from the USB.
27+
28+
If an existing operating system is installed on the SSD, press `Delete` when turning on the WTR PRO. Navigate to **Save & Exit** and choose the USB.
29+
30+
When the USB is booted into the GRUB menu, select **Troubleshooting**:

33+
34+
Subsequently, select **Install Rocky Linux *VERSION* in basic graphics mode**:

37+
38+
Now, Rocky Linux should boot and install as normal.
39+
40+
Keep in mind that when Rocky Linux is installed, no special kernel options are required.
