To check whether you have iSeries Access for Windows installed:

1. Click Start and select Settings.

2. Click Control Panel.

3. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.

4. Look for IBM iSeries Access for Windows.

5. To close Add/Remove Programs, click Cancel.

6. Close the Control Panel.

If you do not have iSeries Access for Windows installed, use the iSeries Setup and Operations CD-ROM to

install it:

1. Insert the iSeries Setup and Operations CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.

2. Select the iSeries Access for Windows option to start the installation.

3. Wait until the IBM iSeries Access for Windows window appears.

4. To continue with the setup program, click Next and follow the prompts.

Refer to the iSeries Access for Windows topic for further installation assistance.

5. If you are installing iSeries Access for Windows for the first time, you have to ensure that you have at

least a minimum configuration for running Operations Console. If you are only adding the Operations

Console component, add only the components necessary to meet this minimum configuration.

6. To ensure the minimum configuration takes place, select Custom or Full install and select at least the

following components:

Note: The Operations Console component is not available using the Typical or PC5250 User options.

a. Required Programs

b. 5250 Display and Printer Emulator (if IBM Personal Communications (V5.8 or V5.7 CSD 1

minimum) is not installed)

You do not need a license to use 5250 Display Emulation just for Operations Console, even though

the window says that you do.

Important: If your Operations Console configuration is going to support only the remote control

panel, you do not need to install an emulator.

c. Operations Console.

7. Click Next and follow the prompts.

8. Apply the latest service pack (program temporary fix (PTF)) for iSeries Access for Windows.
