This chapter contains information you need to know about installation of the SNA link products.

To run an SNA link product on the HP 3000, you must install the product, and then your Hewlett-Packard support contact must configure your HP 3000 environment to support the product.

Before the Hewlett-Packard support contact arrives to do the minimum configuration of the SNA link product on the HP 3000, you must do these things:

  1. Ensure that the remote system has the required hardware and software as listed in chapter 1 of this manual.

  2. Ensure that the remote system has been configured according to the procedures detailed in the ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM Guide Host System Programmer's Reference or the AS/400 Guide Host System Programmer's Reference.

  3. Obtain a copy of the new remote system configuration listing; your Hewlett-Packard support contact will need this information later during the minimum configuration of the SNA link product.

  4. Ensure that the modem link between the HP 3000 and the remote system is operational.

  5. Ensure that the HP 3000 is at the proper release level.

  6. Use the AUTOINST utility to load the SNA link product software. See the HP 3000 MPE XL Installation and Update Manual (36123-90001) or the HP 3000 MPE XL Add-On Manual (36123-90003) for more information.

  7. Run NMMAINT to ensure that all of the necessary software modules have been successfully installed by AUTOINST and are at the correct version levels.

After you do these installation tasks, your Hewlett-Packard support contact installs the PSI card and completes the minimum configuration required to verify minimum SNA link product functionality.
