Installing the  hyperSTATION Upgrade

hyperSTATION Upgrade Installation Guide

2-11

If the computer has copy-protected software that uses the motherboard’s hostid or ethernet 
address as a key, you must reload the license server software after the hyperSTATION 
upgrade. (These numbers are hard coded on to each motherboard, and hence changed as a 
result of the motherboard upgrade).

Note: If system takes a long time to BOOT, the POST (Power On Self Test) must be set to 
the on position. This setting causes the system to perform diagnostic tests before booting 
the operating system. To disable POST, use the following instuctions:

1. Halt the system with the HALT command

2. At the OK prompt, type sentenv diag-switch false

3. reset
