INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

    o Disk Storage Requirements:
      If you have an Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA)
      hardware configuration, 8 megabytes of disk storage is required
      for all of the device drivers and utilities of EFS 3.10.  EISA
      Options are not installed on Industry Standard Architecture
      (ISA) systems, therefore only 2 megabytes of disk storage are
      required to install EFS 3.10 on ISA hardware configurations.
     
    o Operating System Requirements:
      The following operating system releases are supported by EFS
      3.10:
     
      SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 Version 4.0 with Maintenance
      Supplement 4.2
      SCO Open Desktop or SCO Open Desktop Lite, Release 3.0
      SCO Open Server Enterprise 3.0
      SCO Open Server Network 3.0
      SCO MPX Release 3.0
     
    o Other considerations:
      To run TCP/IP over the networking package of the Compaq EFS for
      SCO OPEN SERVER RELEASE 3.0, TCP/IP should be installed on your
      system prior to installing the supplement.  If a version of
      TCP/IP is installed after installing this supplement, netconfig
      or mkdev cet must be run to configure TCP/IP.  SCO TCP/IP (for
      SCO OPEN SERVER RELEASE 3.0 System V) Version 1.2 for 3.2v4
      based systems must be used.  TCP/IP is included in SCO Open
      Desktop.
     
      To access certain SCSI devices during installation of SCO OPEN
      SERVER RELEASE 3.0, the Boot-Time Loadable Driver (BTLD)
      diskette, available on the Compaq Support Software CD, may be
      needed.  Refer to section 8, "Installing SCO OPEN SERVER RELEASE
      3.0 using the BTLD diskette."
    
      To install the disks connected to a Compaq SMART-2 controller
      as the primary boot device, an N1 Boot diskette containing the
      new IDA driver must be used.  In addition, the BTLD diskette
      must be used to include this driver in the link kit on the root
      file system.  The N1 and BTLD diskettes can be found as part of
      the EFS package.
     
HOW TO USE: 

IMPORTANT: DO NOT TURN OFF POWER TO THE SYSTEM WHILE PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE!

Follow these steps to create the six (6) EFS 3.10 diskettes: 

1.  Download the SoftPaq to an empty directory and change to that directory.

2.  From that drive and directory, execute the SoftPaq file:  SP2360 [ENTER]
The following files should be created:
        EFS310._01
        EFS310._02
        EFS310._03
        EFS310._04
        EFS310._05
        EFS310._06
        QRST.EXE
        README.DOC

3.  Obtain 6 DOS formatted 1.44 MB diskettes
IMPORTANT: Only 1.44 MB, DOS formatted diskettes can be used, other types of media cannot be substituted.

4.  Follow the further instructions in README.DOC to create the diskettes by executing the QRST.EXE program and then read all information in the README.EFS file on the documentation diskette before installing the EFS.

5.  After the diskettes are created, you may delete the downloaded file SP2360.EXE and the other files created on the hard drive if you wish.
