ShowMe How Multimedia
Documentation Support on Non-Sun
Systems
The Sun Ultra 80 Hardware Documentation CD-insert, which describes how to install
and view the AnswerBook2™ and ShowMe How™ multimedia documentation, also
describes how to view the HTML version of the documentation on Microsoft
Windows PCs and Macintosh systems.
The ISO 9660 format used on the CD is not fully supported on some PC or
Macintosh systems. Therefore, the ShowMe How (MPEG-1) video segments cannot
be launched on those systems by clicking the document’s video-link icons. The
ShowMe How video segments can be viewed on PC and Macintosh systems if you
manually browse to the segments’ location on the CD.
To manually open and view a ShowMe How video segment on a PC or Macintosh
system:
1. Open the video viewer that you use to view MPEG-1 videos.
2. In the viewer’s File menu, select Open.
3. In the dialog window that is displayed, browse to the following directory on the
Sun Ultra 80 Hardware Documentation CD (capitalization may vary):
CDROM/ULETPSVC/ULETPSVC/COMMON/PRODUCT/SUNWULT8/INSTALL/RELOC/
_AB2INST/BOOKS/ULETPSVC/FIGURES/MOVIES/
4. Open the MPEG file that you want to view. The nine MPEG file names are listed
in the following table, with the corresponding procedure names.
