Introduction

This AT&T UNIX® PC System Software Installation Guide
shows you how to install your UNIX PC system Software.
You do not need any tools or special computer experience
to follow the instructions. You will be shown everything
you need to know.
Keep this guide after you finish installing the system
software. It will be useful if you decide to update your
system software at a later date.
You can use this guide for three different purposes:
o

To convert a single user system to a multiuser
system.

To install system software on a new UNIX PC.

To update system software and save the user
files on a UNIX PC that contains an earlier
version of system software.

If you already have a UNIX PC that is set up for a single
user and you want to convert it to a multiuser system,
use this guide to follow these steps:
1

Back up an existing 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5 system

Reinitialize your hard disk for a multiuser
system.

Reinstall your 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5 system Software.

Restore your user files from the backup.

Upgrade your system from 2. 0, 3. 0 or 3. 5 to the
new 3.51 System Software.

Introduction

If you have a brand new UNIX PC, use this guide to follow
these steps:

Initialize the hard disk and install the system
software.

Complete the system software installation by
setting the correct date and time and entering
a system password.

If you have a UNIX PC that already contains user files
and application software, use this guide to follow these
steps:

Update your system software and save your user
files and application software.

Go directly to the Updating system Software and
Saving Files section of this guide.
DO NOT
INITIALIZE THE HARD DISK.

Each chapter of this guide is set up to lead you through
a particular procedure.
When you're ready, go to the
chapter that best suits your needs.

Note

Version 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5 Full System Backups CANNOT be
restored on a 3.51 system.

Single User to Multiuser Conversion

This chapter shows you how to change your UNIX PC from a
single user system to a multiuser system.
Use this
chapter only if you want to implement this conversion on
a system that is presently set up as a single user system.
All standard Version 2. systems are configured as single
user.

If you are installing system software on a new machine,
do not use this chapter. Go to the next chapter, titled
Initializing the Hard Disk and Installing Software, for
installation procedures.
If you want to save files that already exist on your hard
disk and update your system software from 2.0, 3.0 or
3.5 to 3.51, and if you do not want to convert your system
from single to multiuser, do not use this chapter. Go
to the chapter titled Updating system Software and saving
Files for updating procedures.
Before You Begin

To convert your system from single user to multiuser, you
will need to reinitialize your hard disk.
Since this
operation destroys all of the files currently on your
hard disk, procedures for backing up your files must be
followed very carefully.
Here is a brief outline of the procedures you will be
following:
1

Perform a complete system backup and verify the
readability of the backups.

Reinitialize the hard disk for multiuser.

Reinstall your 2. 0, 3.

Restore your files from the backup.

Upgrade your system from 2.0,
3.51.

° or 3.5

system software.

3.0 or 3.5 to

single User to Multiuser Conversion

This procedure takes anywhere from one to two hours to
complete.
DO NOT START THIS PROCEDURE UNLESS YOU HAVE
THE TIME TO FINISH IT IN ONE SESSION.
Do not turn off
the power and try to start where you left off. If you
make a mistake during steps 1 - 4, you must start that
step over from the beginning. If you make a mistake on
step 5, repeat steps 3 - 5.
Backing Up the System Files

Before you perform a system backup, remove any of the
following application software that is installed on your
system.
Version 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5 Development Set
EIA/RAM Combo Board software
IPC Fix
Custom Kernel
DOS-73
SYSTEM VER. 1.0

VOICE POWER: System Software REL 1.0
WIN
/3B-LAN interface Version 1.0
WIN
/3B-LAN interface Version 1.1
3270 Emulator + Version 1.0
All languages (upgrades from Version 2.0 and
3.0 only). You do not have to remove languages
when upgrading from Version 3.5.
Removal of these packages will substantially decrease the
number of floppy disks or tape cartridges you will need
for your system backup. Additionally, all applications
that have a loadable device driver should also be removed
and reinstalled after the upgrade to version 3.51. This
is relevant only under Version 3.0 or 3.5 (not 2.0).
These packages can be identified by logging in as install,
selecting IAdministration I , selecting ISoftware Setup I
and then selecting either I Configure Loadable Device
Drivers I or Isetup Loadable Device Drivers I , depending
on your system software version.

Single User to Multiuser conversion

Note

The EIA/RAM Combo Board software is displayed
in the Loadable Device Driver, Software and
System Information windows as RS232 Expansion.
Backup Procedures

After removing the software listed above, do a complete
system backup.
Since reinitializing the hard disk
destroys all existing files, it is essential that your
system is properly backed up and that the entire backup
set is readable. You can verify that the backup set is
readable by doing a Restore by filename.
For an extra
margin of safety, you can back up the files .of each
individual by selecting the Backup One User option. For
backup procedures, see the Managing the UNIX pc section
of the AT&T UNIX
PC Owner's Manual or the Tape Backup
User's Guide.
Initializing the Hard Disk for a Multiuser System

To initialize the hard disk for a multiuser system:
1

Insert the Diagnostics Disk 1 of 12 into the
floppy drive with the label up.
Note

If you are unfamiliar with handling or
inserting floppy disks,
please refer to
"Handling Floppy Disks" and "Inserting Floppy
Disks" in the Initializing the Hard Disk and
Installing Software chapter of this guide.
2

Turn the floppy drive lever down and to the
left to close the floppy drive.

Turn the power switch ON (toward the I).

single User to Multiuser Conversion

Reinstall all software applications that you
removed before doing your backup (Development
Set, EIA/RAM Combo Board software, STARLAN,
Voice Power, and so on). If you are upgrading
your system to Version 3.51, this step must be
postponed until after the upgrade procedure is
completed.

Restoring Files from Backup
Once you have reinstalled your original system software
and applications, you are ready to use your system backup
set to restore your files.
To restore files from backup, refer to the Managing the
UNIX PC section of the AT&T UNIX PC Owner's Manual or the
Tape Backup User's Guide.
When you have finished restoring the backed-up files, the
conversion from a single user to a multiuser system is
complete.
If you plan to update your system to 3.51
System Software, refer to the Updating system Software
and saving Files chapter in this guide for procedures.

Initializing the Hard Disk and Installing Software

This chapter shows you how to initialize the hard disk
and install system software. Use this chapter if you are
installing software for the first time on a new UNIX PC.
If you want to update a system that is currently running
2.0, 3.0 or 3.5 system software, go to the Updating system
Software and Saving Files chapter of this guide.
Before You Begin
You will be initializing the hard disk, which destroys
all existing files on the hard disk, and then installing
system software from floppy disks.
If your system is brand new, and you are installing the
system software for the first time, you do not need to
worry about destroying existing files.
caution
If you want to update system software and save
files that already exist on the hard disk (on a
single-user system), DO NOT INITIALIZE THE HARD
DISK. Go directly to the Updating system Software
and saving Files chapter of this guide.

Initializing the hard disk and installing system software
takes approximately one hour to complete.
DO NOT START THIS PROCEDURE UNLESS YOU HAVE THE TIME TO
FINISH IT IN ONE SESSION.
Do not turn off the power and
try to start where you left off.
Please follow the steps very carefully to ensure a proper
installation.

Handling Floppy Disks

Keep the following in mind when handling the System
Software floppy disks:

Initializing the Hard Disk and Installing Software

Handle floppy disks by the protective jacket
only. Do not touch the magnetic surface that
shows through the jacket.

Keep contaminants such as food, beverages,
smoke, and dust away from floppy disks.

Do not bend or crease floppy disks.

Keep floppy disks away from magnets that can
erase data stored on floppy disks. Never place
them close to a telephone,
because the
telephone receiver contains a magnet.
Paper
clips can become magnetized when kept in a
magnetized container.

If you are unsure about the Telephone Manager or ATE,
refer to the respective manuals for introductions and
functional descriptions.
To get acquainted with the UNIX PC, you should read the
AT&T UNIX PC Getting started Guide and follow the
examples. You'll find the UNIX PC makes it easy to use
a computer.
If you are an experienced computer user, you'll want to
read the AT&T UNIX PC Owner's Manual and learn how to use
the install login and the Administration menu to' set up
your communications ports and printers. This information
is found under "Setting Up the UNIX PC" in the Managing
the UNIX PC section of the Owner's Manual.
The Owner's Manual also contains information on how to
install application software. This information is found
under "Updating the UNIX PC" in the Managing the UNIX PC
section of the Owner's Manual.
If you are looking for information on using your
application software, see the application guides that
come with each software package.

updating system Software and Saving Files

This chapter shows you how to install a new version of
system software and save the user files you have created.
When you update your UNIX PC to Version 3.51, you must
also update your Telephone Manager and your Asynchronous
Terminal Emulator (ATE). See the AT&T UNIX PC Telephone
Manager User's Guide and the AT&T UNIX PC Terminal
Emulation User's Guide for installation procedures.
Please follow the steps very carefully to ensure a proper
installation.
Before You Begin

Although you can save existing user files when installing
a new version of system software, it is recommended that
you do the following before updating your system
software:
1

Save your telephone directories by using the
Save Directory command in the Call Screen
Telephone Commands menu.

Remove any of the following software that you
currently have installed:
Version 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5 Development set
EIA/RAM Combo board software

when upgrading from Version 3.5.

Updatinq system Software and savinq Files

Removal
of
these
packages
substantially
decreases the number of floppy disks or tape
cartridges you will need to back up the system.
In addition, all 3.0 and 3.5 applications with
loadable device drivers should also be removed
and reinstalled after the upgrade to 3.51.
These packages can be identified by logging in
as
install,
selecting
IAdministration I ,
selecting ISoftware Setup I and then selecting
either IConfigure Loadable Device Drivers I or
ISet Up Loadable Device Drivers I , depending on
your system software version.

After removing the software listed above, do a
complete backup.
For an extra margin of
safety, back up each user using the Backup One
User option.
Refer to the Manaqinq the UNIX
PC section of the AT&T UNIX PC Owner's Manual
or the Tape Backup User's Guide for backup
procedures.
