1. Ensure that requirements for using this product are met
   (see Section IV Product Requirements below).

2. Ensure that prerequisites for the installation utility and any
   product-specific installation requirements are met
   (see Section V Installation Prerequisites below).

3. Review the file USRGUIDE.PDF (in the subdirectory NSK_SW on this
   CD) containing the IPSetup User Guide, which provides instructions
   for using IPSetup, a utility provided on the CD that enables
   installation of Independent Products. You need Adobe Acrobat Reader
   (available on this CD) to read or print the IPSetup User Guide.

4. Decide whether you will use DSM/SCM to move files to Installation
   Subvolumes (ISVs) after files are placed on the workstation. Using
   DSM/SCM is optional, but is recommended when DSM/SCM is available.

5. Follow the pre-installation instructions in Section II below, if
   any, before continuing to Step 6.

6. Run IPSetup to place (move files from the CD to the workstation)
   and install (move NonStop Kernel files to correct ISVs) this
   product. If TCP/IP and FTP are unavailable, or if you have problems
   with automatic file placement, use the instructions in the IPSetup
   User Guide section "Manual Software Placement Using the IPSetup
   TACL Program" to manually place NonStop Kernel files.

7. Follow the post-installation instructions in Section III below, if
   any, after using IPSetup to place and install this product.
