Basis setup ,

Start the install of V7 client software (download link stanford http://folding.stanford.edu/English/HomePage) ,

Go to http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/getpasskey.py see next picture !

Just fill in your details and the passkey wil be send to you !
The passkey is needed so you get (after 10WU's ) the bonus points !

Fill in you Folding At Home details , make sure you fill in Team98860

Iff all went to plan , all is working perfectly !

setup (adding) Flags ,

part 2.

This section will cover both how to add flags, and a list of available options (at the bottom of this post).

1) First we change from "Novice" to "Expert" Mode. Simply click the drop down arrow next to "Novice" and choose "Expert".

2) Click on the "Configure" button and go to the "Slots" tab. Highlight the slot slot you would like to add the flag to, and click the "Edit" button.

3) At the bottom, under "Extra slot options (expert only)", click "Add".

4) Enter the flag and its value. For example:

Name: client-type
Value: advanced

Quote:

After that you need to go into the v7 client, configure, pick the gpu, go to advanced and add client-type beta to your flags. You should delete any work for the GPU the v7 may have downloaded previously. Lastly, close and restart the v7 client.

When it starts up the 680 should be seen properly (Kepler GK104) and it should download a WU and start folding.
