APPENDIX A - INSTALLING SOFTWARE
INTRODUCTION
This section describes how to install the OIS12/OIC12 system
software onto the OIS12/OIC12 console’s computer.
The OIS12 system software must be loaded onto all OIS12's
and OIC12’s that have a hard disk drive.
NOTES:
1. The term OIS12 shall refer to both the OIS12's and OIC12's
unless explicitly stated otherwise.
2. All consoles should be using the same release version of LAN-90
PCV software i.e. 5.1A or 5.2. Failure to do so will result in consoles
not being able to communicate with each other via Ethernet.
STEPS IN THE INSTALLATION PROCESS
To install OIS12 system software on a new computer:
1. Start the computer up in DOS, back up to floppy disk all
software which was preloaded. Delete all partitions.
2. Create a primary DOS partition and load the DOS operat-
ing system onto it.
3. Load the QNX operating system onto a QNX hard disk par-
tition using the QNX installation program.
4. Load the OIS12 system software onto the QNX partition via
the OIS12 system software installation program.
5. If you are using an optical disk drive, you have to configure
the system software (via the Configuration Options menu) to
recognize it.
To re-install OIS12 system software on an OIS12 console, the
same procedure for installing OIS12 software on a new com-
puter can be followed. However, certain steps can be ignored
such as installing the DOS partition and loading DOS-based
software. It is recommended that you reload QNX, QNX
CAUTION
Before installing
any
software, verify that the revision level of
the software on the disks matches the revision level stated in
the section describing the installation of the software.
