Release 5.2

Installing the operating system

Step C-1 provides instructions for installing the SVR4 operating system tape (NTOS 2.x) onto a
Motorola VME 187 or 197 platform designated to be a CC MIS system. You should only have to
perform this step once upon initially receiving your hardware or when upgrading from CC MIS
Release 2.x to Release 3.x. Procedure C-2 is used to load the AIX platform.
If you are running NTOS 2.x and are installing or reinstalling a NTOS 2.x, you
should access the System Configuration screen and make a note of the follow-
Note:
ing Network Parameters: Network Hostname, Network Address, Network
Mask, and Default Gateway. This information will not be saved during the up-
grade and will be required after the new OS is loaded. (If you are using NTOS
1.x, this information must be obtained from the network administrator.)
To load the operating system tape for 187 or 197 platform, perform the steps in Procedure C-1.
Procedure C-1: Installing the SVR4 OS
1. Ensure that the system has been powered down (from the Run State Utilities menu).
2. Place the operating system tape in either the cartridge tape drive or DATs drive (as applicable)
and close the tape drive latch.
3. Turn the Motorola VME system on by pushing the on/off switch located on the front panel.
4. The system will boot from the NTOS operating system tape. Wait for the system to come up.
The information displayed when the system comes up is dependent on the hardware in use (for
example, MVME187 or MVME197). The prompts you see on your screen should be similar to
