Is Your System Already Running HP-UX 11i
v1.6?
If you have a system that is already running HP-UX 11i V1.6, such as a
system that was factory ignited, then you may only need to check for
the latest, critical patches to have the most up-to-date system.
Check the following references:
•“Keeping Up to Date with the Latest Critical Patches” on page 80

• Application release notes and readme booklets for the latest
information
Choosing the Configuration
How you choose to configure your system affects how you use this guide.
For example, you may choose one of the following paths:
• If you ordered one of the server configurations with HP-UX 11i v1.6
pre-installed, or pre-ignited, this guide can still provide you with
valuable information about configuring your system, as well as
peripherals, software, and more.
• If you ordered a server or workstation without the OS pre-installed,
then you need to follow the install instructions in Chapter 3,
“Installing HP-UX 11i Version 1.6,” on page 59.
WARNING The i2000 workstations ship with Windows 2000 pre-installed.
If you follow the install instructions in Chapter 3, “Installing
HP-UX 11i Version 1.6,” on page 59, you will overwrite the
Windows 2000 operating system.
