The flash ROM stores information about the selections. The information is a
list of instructions that the program follows when it runs.
Starting the program
The Software Installation Program must run from TTY 0 (port 0 on card 0).
The following are the two methods of starting the Software Installation
Program:
• Issue the “upgrade” command in Overlay 143.
• Press the <Control> I keys while the terminal screen displays the
installation prompt during SYSLOAD.
Note:
When you turn on a new system before you have installed the
software, the Software Installation Program is called up automatically.
Function selection
The Software Installation Program is menu-driven. The main menu provides
the core functionality of the program. The Software Installation Program
includes the following key functions:
• installs software in a new system
• upgrades and modifies software in an existing system
• uses utilities to work with archived databases, review data, back up data,
undo an installation in progress, and clear unwanted data.
After you have made all installation or upgrade selections, you must enter
valid keycodes. The system validates the keycode. If you enter an invalid
keycode, the installation function does not continue.
Note:
If you enter a keycode that is not valid, the software and databases
on the present system are not affected.
When the keycode validation passes, the software is installed on the system.
The Software Installation Program has the following additional options:

Clear Upgrade Information:
If the installation terminates after you
have entered the keycodes, but before the installation is complete, you
can abort the installation with the “Clear Upgrade Information” option.
