HOW TO USE:

1.  Obtain two formatted 1.44 MB diskettes.

2.  Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and 
change to that directory.  The file that is downloaded is 
SP2887.EXE.

3.  From that drive and directory, execute the SoftPaq file:
  SP2887 [ENTER]
You will be prompted to place the formatted 1.44 MB diskettes into 
a diskette drive to create the diskettes.

4.  After the diskettes are created, you may delete the downloaded 
file SP2887.EXE if you wish.

HOW TO UPGRADE THE SYSTEM PARTITION:

If the Array Configuration Utility (ACU) is installed on the 
System Partition, boot to the System Partition and navigate 
through the menus and select the Upgrade System Partition choice. 
Place an X next to the Array Configuration Utility and press 
ENTER. You will be prompted to insert both diskettes and after the 
files have been copied; you can run the ACU from the System 
Partition.

NOTE: This requires a 32MB System Partition which can only be 
created on a hard disk with 32MB of unused space at the beginning 
of the drive.  Use the Compaq System Configuration Utility Version 
2.30 or later to create a 32MB System Partition.  Search for the 
latest version of the Compaq System Configuration Utility as a 
downloadable Diagnostics/Setup Softpaq (e.g., Ver 2.33 Rev A is 
available in Softpaq SP2651).

HOW TO UPGRADE THE WINDOWS NT VERSION:

If the Array Configuration Utility is installed online on a 
Windows NT server, follow the directions in the Windows NT Support 
Software Diskette's README.TXT file to perform the upgrade. 
Search for the latest version of the Windows NT Support Software 
Diskette as a downloadable Softpaq from Compaq (e.g., Compaq 
Support Software for Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 is available in 
Softpaq SP2741).

HOW TO RUN THE OFFLINE VERSION:

If the ACU is not installed on the System Partition or on an NT 
server, power down your computer, place the Compaq System 
Configuration Utility diskette number 1 in Drive A:, and power up 
your computer.
