Post-Installation
System Resource Manager Configuration
After the software has been loaded to the disk, the system will attempt to reboot. Before it begins
the bootup process, press the front panel reset button. This will stop the bootup process, and
allow you to make the final configuration changes to be able to boot directly from the disk,
instead of the floppy or CD-ROM. You should now be at the SRM prompt, "P00>>>". Enter the
following commands to finalize the configuration.
