2.0  Installing and Setup Instructions
______________________________________
        
        To use this package, perform the following steps:

        a).     Open a Web browser. In the address or URL field, type 
                the IP address or host name of the Advacnced Management Module 
                to which you want to connect. The Enter Network 
                Password window opens.
                
                Note: The Advanced Management Module defaults to DHCP. If a DHCP
                host is unavailable, the Advanced Management Module assigns a
                static IP address of 192.168.70.125 after 2 minutes.
                
        b).     Type your user name and password in the Enter Network 
                Password window. If you are using the IBM Advanced Management Module
                for the first time, you can obtain your user name and 
                password from your system administrator. All login attempts
                are documented in the event log. A welcome page opens in 
                your browser.
                
                Note: The Advanced Management Module is set initially with a user 
                name of USERID and password of PASSW0RD (with a zero, 
                not an O). This user has read/write access. Change this 
                default password during your initial configuration for
                enhanced security.
                
        c).     Select a timeout value, in minutes, in the field provided. 
                If your browser is inactive for that number of minutes, the 
                Advanced Management Module logs you off the Web interface.
        d).     Click Continue to start the session. The browser opens the 
                System Health page, which gives you a quick view of the system 
                status. 
        e).     In the navigation frame, click MM Firmware Update under MM Control, 
                then click Browse.
        f).     Switch to the drive and directory containing the unpackaged files. 
                Navigate to the PKT file you want to update. 
        
                Note: There is one packet file that can be updated:
                
                  CNETCMUS.PKT   
                    
                  
                Do not restart the management module until CNETCMUS.PKT file has been 
                flashed.
                    
        g).     Click Open. The file (including the full path) appears in the box 
                beside Browse.
        h).     To begin the update process, click Update. A progress indicator 
                opens as the file is transferred to temporary storage on the Advanced
                Management Module. A confirmation page opens when the file transfer 
                is completed.
        i).     Verify that the PKT file shown on the Confirm Firmware Update 
                page is what you intend to update. If not, click the Cancel button.
        j).     To complete the update process, click Continue. A progress indicator 
                opens as the firmware on the Advanced Management Module is  flashed. A 
                confirmation page opens to verify that the update was successful.
        k).     If the CNETCMUS.PKT file has been flashed, continue with step 3l; otherwise 
                repeat steps 3e through 3k until CNETCMUS.PKT has been flashed.
        l).     After receiving a confirmation that the update process is complete, 
                click the option "Restart MM" and click the Restart button.  Click OK 
                to confirm that you want to restart the Management Module.
                NOTE: Restarting the Advanced Management Module will disconnect your current
                      session.
        m).     Click OK to close the current browser window.
        n).     To log into the Advanced Management Module again, open your browser and follow
                the regular login process.
                
                Note: To cancel this process at any point, click Cancel.
