procedure on both SERVERA and SERVERB.

systems used the plx_user account.
Unless otherwise noted, all subsequent software
installs should be performed with the ps_user
account logged on to the system.

If this is the first time starting up since the Windows
2000 operating system install, it is necessary to
remove the default startup screens.
