Instruction manual

Installing the Software
After the hardware is installed, you install the CMS software next. This task
includes installing the MS-DOS operating system and the CMS program
®
software. This chapter gives instructions for installing both types of software.
Before installing the CMS software, make sure that CMS will be working on a
hard disk dedicated exclusively to running the CMS program and storing
CMS reports. The CMS PC cannot be used for MERLIN LEGEND system
programming or any other applications.
If you are installing CMS for the first time, you will first have to format the hard
disk and install MS-DOS, version 3.3. If you are upgrading from another
MERLIN CMS system and using the same CMS PC, you do not have to
reformat the hard disk.
IMPORTANT
If this installation is an upgrade, read Appendix B before beginning for
instructions on retaining and/or replacing CMS files.
