Installation Procedure
1. Prepare system for software update
Power down and switch off the system. Connect the CD-ROM drive to the appropriate SCSI connector
of the controller. You can find the connector on the right side of the HP E4840A mainframe or at the
front of the HP E4849A frame. Make sure you have selected a free SCSI ID number, ID=3 is
recommended. Switch on the CD-ROM, after that switch on the system and wait until the boot is
finished. For instructions how to connect the CD-ROM drive please refer to
Drive to the HP 81200 System" on page
2. Login as administrator
Under "Start"−>"Shut Down" select "Close all programs and logon as a different user?". Click on the
"Yes" button and immediately afterwards the SHIFT key and keep it down until the logon window
appears. Change the user to Administrator and enter the administrator password DVTADM (factory
default).
3. Check the status of your HP I/O Library
Execute "Start"−>"Programs"−>"HP I_O Libraries"−>"I_O Config". After the I/O Config Application
appears, select in the upper main window "Help"−>"About I/O Config". The version shown must be
G.xx.xx.xx or higher. If that is the case no update is required and you should proceed with step 8.
4. Uninstall the existing HP I/O Library

I/O Library.Press add/remove and confirm dialog. Select HP I/O Libraries and press add/remove and

Double check within the Windows NT explorer that the complete directory "Siclnt" or "Sicl" is
removed from your C: drive. If that is not true, delete any remaining part.
5. Install the new HP I/O Library
Insert the HP I/O Library CD into your CD-ROM drive and follow the instructions on the cover.
Check the box "Install HP 8491 VXI Components" only, if you have installed an IEEE-1394 to VXI
interface. Disable "Configure interface" and enable "No, I will restart my computer later", because
additional software needs to be installed.
