RackSwitch G8264T: Installation Guide
The IBM Documentation CD contains documentation for your switch in Portable
Document Format (PDF) and includes the IBM Documentation Browser to help you
find information quickly.
The IBM Documentation CD requires the following minimum hardware and
software:
• Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 (with Service Pack 3 or later), Windows 2000, or Red
Hat® Linux.
• 100 MHz microprocessor.
• 32 MB of RAM.
• Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0 (or later) or xpdf, which comes with Linux operating
systems. Acrobat Reader software is included on the CD, and you can install it
when you run the Documentation Browser.
Use the Documentation Browser to browse the contents of the CD, read brief
descriptions of the documents, and view documents, using Adobe Acrobat Reader
or xpdf. The Documentation Browser automatically detects the regional settings in
use in your computer and displays the documents in the language for that region (if
available). If a document is not available in the language for that region, the
English-language version is displayed.
Use one of the following procedures to start the Documentation Browser:
• If Autostart is enabled, insert the CD into the CD drive. The Documentation
Browser starts automatically.
• If Autostart is disabled or is not enabled for all users, use one of the following
procedures:
– If you are using a Windows operating system, insert the CD into the CD drive
and click Start --> Run. In the Open field, type
e:\win32.bat
where e is the drive letter of the CD drive, and click OK.
– If you are using Red Hat Linux, insert the CD into the CD drive; then, run the
following command from the /mnt/cdrom directory:
sh runlinux.sh
Select switch drive from the Product menu. The Available Topics list displays all
the documents for your drive. Some documents might be in folders. A plus sign (+)
indicates each folder or document that has additional documents under it. Click the
plus sign to display the additional documents.
When you select a document, a description of the document is displayed under
Topic Description. To select more than one document, press and hold the Ctrl key
while you select the documents. Click View Book to view the selected document or
documents in Acrobat Reader or xpdf. If you selected more than one document, all
the selected documents are opened in Acrobat Reader or xpdf.
