Software Installation

Installing the UNIX Operating System

Before you can load any other software packages, you must install (or reinstall) the UNIX Operating System V/386 Release 3.2.2.

To install the UNIX operating system, follow these steps:

1.Insert disk 1 of the Base System Package of the UNIX Operating System V/386 Release 3.2.2 Foundation Set into the disk drive.

N O T E :

Whenever you are asked to insert a disk into the disk drive, always use the lowest numbered or lettered drive.

2.Press (Reset) if the system is on, or turn the system ON.

Resident diagnostics run on the hardware and the results (PASS or FAIL) are indicated on the screen.

NOTE:

If resident diagnostics fail at any time, remove the disk. Insert the Customer Test (or Customer Diagnostics) disk for a more specific hardware check on the device that failed and perform the recommended corrective actions. The Customer Test disk is provided in the back of the AT&T WGS User's Guide for your machine. When the problem is corrected, restart the procedure for loading the UNIX operating system.

On a 6386 or 6386E WGS, the resident diagnostics will give a false error indicating the Internal Serial Port failed if you use (Ctrl) + (Alt) + (Del) to reboot the machine.

When diagnostics are completed, the software on disk 1 runs. Disk 1 is used to prepare the computer for the UNIX Operating System environment by partitioning and reformatting the hard disk.

Wait for the following prompt to display:

Strike ENTER to install the UNIX System on your hard disk.
