machine. This must be done the moment the SIM 3 is turned on.
If the SIM 3 boots up as usual then the CD was introduced too late. This is not a problem. Just power down the SIM 3
down (by holding the power button) without removing the CD. The next time it powers up it will automatically boot from
the CD drive.
The SIM 3 machine will boot and present a terminal window in the upper left corner of the display (if a monitor is
attached to the SIM 3 machine).
