The INSTALL utility on a factory system load tape replaces a system's configuration files with a default configuration. These defaults allow the system manager or system supervisor to boot the system to a fully operational level. You should then alter the functioning configuration to meet your system's needs using SYSGEN.

START uses CONFIG as its default configuration group. Before a system can actually use the START command default to start the system, however, a functioning set of configuration files must reside in the configuration group CONFIG.

Since multiple configuration groups reside on a factory system load tape, CONFIG is empty on disk after an INSTALL until the system manager copies an appropriate configuration group into it using SYSGEN. The following is a list of appropriate configuration groups depending upon which 900 Series system you are working with.

The next sections show portions of the default input and output (I/O) configurations carried by:

NOTE: The PB-FL card is the FL card that is used in precision bus systems, such as 99X systems.For specific information on how to start the system with the default configuration files, as well as possible additional default configuration files, refer to the HP 3000 MPE/iX Installation, Update, and Add-On Manual (36123-90001).

The configuration groups for the Series 935, CONFG935 and ALINK935, apply only to systems with a CIO expander. If you are working on a system without a CIO expander, you must modify the configuration group using SYSGEN so that device entries match the system configuration.
