Preparing for Installation

If you have external devices attached to y our system, y ou will have to install (or con￿gure) them on HP-UX. Y ou may also have to do some con￿guration for appropriate data in terchange with a new prin ter. This chapter gives you general guidance for these tasks.

In general:

For a list of devices whic h are supported by the Model 742i, see Chapter 1. See the Installation Guide for the device you are installing for information

4on hardware installation. You can also get installation information from

Installing Peripher als .

Ensure that eac h new device you install whic h communicates through the SCSI protocol has a unique bus address . You can use /etc/ioscan (see \Finding the Status of Existing SCSI Bus Addresses") to determine this, or you can use SAM (System Administration Manager). The factory-set SCSI addresses for the devices in this c hapter are as follo ws:

Hard Disk Drive: 6

Flexible Disk Drive: 0

CD ROM Drive: 2

DDS Drive: 3

This chapter shows you how to use essential SAM (System Administration Manager) procedures. SAM will determine the status of an y of your connected devices and will perform softw are installation tasks for y ou.

If you don't want to use SAM, or it is not on y our system, y ou can also HP-UX commands directly to accomplish the same tasks. F or information on using manual system administration procedures, see System Administration Tasks.
