General Guidelines
This section simply provides advice that is intended to make the overall installation 
process as painless and clean as possible. As with any major hardware/software 
system installation, there are many potential problems to be avoided. It is hoped 
that, by sequencing the installation into steps, laying out each step as methodically 
as possible, and working in concert with manufacturer documentation, such...

APM System Installation Manual BASELINE SYSTEM
Chapter 2 BASELINE SYSTEM
Introduction
The “typical” User Application Processor referred to in Chapter 1 is configured 
using an Intel 386/486 IBM compatible base unit with a line printer. The APM 
Platform is supported on the SCO UNIX System V/386 Operating System which 
provides the necessary facilities required for a comprehensive OAI UAP. This 
criteria coupled with the requirement for an Ethernet link and an external vt100...

BASELINE SYSTEM APM System Installation Manual
Necessary Preparation
Configuring the baseline system involves plugging all of the hardware into 
available slots, making the required connections as directed by manufacturer 
guidelines, and powering up.
Before beginning it is important to ensure that the video card does not introduce 
addressing conflicts with the system BIOS. This is can be avoided by comparing 
the system memory map and the video cards addressing range....

Chapter 3 SCO UNIX SYSTEM V INSTALLATION
Introduction
The APM Platform is currently supported under SCO UNIX System V/386. This 
chapter supplements the SCO UNIX System V/386 Operating System Installation 
Guide with the recommended decision paths generally taken when setting up a 
UAP.
In addition to the operating system installation procedures there are a few other 
SCO-related operations that must be performed...

Before beginning to install the operating system on the UAP, make sure that the 
following tasks have been completed:
1. Set up and assemble the hardware.
2. Verify that the hardware configuration meets the minimum requirements 
specified in Chapter 2, “BASELINE SYSTEM”.
3. Run the hardware setup utility provided by the computer manufacturer.

Step 2: Select Installation Type
When the booting process completes, the system prompts you to select an 
installation type, as illustrated below: 
A Fresh Installation cleanly installs the new release of the software on your system. 
The Update Installation replaces the current release of the software with the new 
release. 
1. Type the number corresponding to the installation type you want to use. We...

Step 5: Display Current Disk Parameters
At this point, the formatting process should be completed and ready for verification 
of the drive’s parameters and bad track table. The following menu displays:
1. Type 1 and press Enter.
The drives parameters display. For a typical 1 Gibabyte hard drive, the 
parameter table should contain the following values: 
Disk Parameters Values

Step 6: Elect to Use the Entire Disk for UNIX
Most UAPs are used exclusively for the purpose of providing an OAI interface to 
the PBX and a host for the APM Platform. For that reason, the typical UAP 
installation requires only a single UNIX partition on the hard disk. If installation 
must include a DOS partition or multiple UNIX partitions, consult the SCO OS 
Installation Guide for guidance in creating them....
