    If failures are noted, click on the failure, then select Go to Tab for the proper tab

    NOTE:

    If the GI Configuration was successfully restored from the MOD in Step 3 then it should not be necessary change any of the parameters in Guided Install. Just check them and confirm that there are no failures in the Verification Tab. If there are failures, then make the necessary changes as described in Step 5 and Step 6.

    NOTE:

    The Host IP address must be assigned and entered before assigning and entering the TPS/MGD Subnet. Make sure the first digits of the TPS/MGD subnet are different from the first digits of the Host IP address. If not, use the pull down arrow for the TPS/MGD subnet to select another address. Failure to make this change will result in the APPS load failing to boot.

    NOTE:

    It is not necessary that any one tab be filled out in any particular order. Just all required configuration tabs must be filled in or the install will not continue. The verification tab will list any formatting errors as well as current settings. SeeIllustration 6 for an example of a failure in the Verification tab in networking (in the example, the Host IP Address is an incorrect format)

12. On the System Configuration tab, be sure to select the proper model number for the LCD or CRT

13. Proceed to the Verification tab, Illustration 6. Once in the verifications tab look for any pass or fail status, the [Install Software] button will not be active if there are any failures. Failed entries will be due to missing entries, or entries not in the correct format. Go to the tab with the error and correct it, then push the [Install] button to open the Verification Tab again. If all entries pass verification at this point, push the [Install Software] button again to begin the MR Apps load. See Illustration 6. The verification popup will open. A GUI will appear indicating “Software Installation in progress” which indicates that the software is loading. The MR Apps load will take 5-10 minutes, depending on the machine being loaded.

36. After the installation of the CD contents, remove the CD form the system by going to the Service Desktop – home – bottom left “Unmount CD”

37. Perform the Term Server Reset Procedure by executing the following steps:
    1. Remove power connector from Term Server.
    2. Press and hold the small square button, labeled ‘reset’ next to power jack
    3. Connect power to term server, while continuing to hold in reset button
    4. Continue to hold reset button for 20 seconds

       NOTE:

       If communication problems between Linux PC and Term Server are percieved, you can ping the Term Server

       1. Open Cshell
       2. type cd /etc<enter>
       3. type more hosts<enter>
       4. Ping the ts1 address by typing ping X.X.X.7<enter> You should see proper communication. The X.X.X. is your TPS Subnet address

       NOTE:

       The Term Server might need to be reset several times in order to establish communication with the Linux PC

       NOTE:

       The “save to MOD” process does not create a complete SaveInfo disk. It only creates a copy of the information already entered in the GUI tabs for later use to update the GUI tabs during a new install (SaveInfo uses the Save/Restore tab.) The <Save GI Configuration to MOD> and SaveInfo can be saved on the same MOD. A separate partition is built for each.

38. Exit the install GUI by selecting File then Quit from the top of the interface. If any error conditions still exists, you will be warned that no changes will be made. If no error conditions are found, the GUI will save user parameters
