3.0  Installation and Setup Procedure
______________________________________________

The diagnostics on the IBM Netfinity 7000 M10 are located in the ROM.
In order to update the version of diagnostics in ROM two flash
diskettes are required.  The first diskette image is in the file
OSY129A.IMG and should be put on a diskette with the label "IBM
Netfinity 7000 M10 Diagnostics Flash Update Diskette 1 of 2".  The second
diskette image is in the file OSY229A.IMG and should be put on
a diskette with the label "IBM Netfinity 7000 M10 Diagnostics Flash
Update Diskette 2 of 2".

The procedure to update diagnostics is as follows:

   1. Insert the "IBM Netfinity 7000 M10 Diagnostics Flash Update
      Diskette 1 of 2" into drive A.
   2. Start up or restart your IBM Netfinity 7000 M10 server.
   3. The system will boot off of the diskette and present
      a window which allows you the option to flash various
      options.  Choose "2 - Update Diagnostic".  Then choose
      "1 = United States".
   4. After loading the image from the diskette the system
      will prompt you to enter the second flash diskette which
      is labeled "IBM Netfinity 7000 M10 Diagnostics Flash Update
      Diskette 2 of 2" and hit enter.
   5. After the images are loaded from diskette the system will
      ask you to wait while the images are flashed into ROM.
      When this is complete you will be prompted to remove the
      diskette and hit return to reboot the system.
