Checklist K. Install a New System
Use this task checklist if your source material is on tape and you are using a CSLT tape
to:
• Install your system software on new hardware
• Install your system software on new hardware and apply PowerPatch patches
NOTE
• Perform a new installation when new hardware has been shipped to you
and the operating system software is not already installed. This is
performed only once in the lifetime of a computer. Your system software is
shipped to you on tape media.
• You cannot apply Reactive patches at the same time you are updating the
system. You must apply Reactive patches after you install the system. To
apply Reactive patches (after you install the system), refer to Checklist A,
“Manage Patches,” or Checklist B, “Manage Patches by Staging Area.”
