             1.4   Level of Recommendations and Prerequisites for the
                   Update:

                   - IBM recommends this update to customers who use
                     Standby or Hibernate.


             1.5   Dependencies:

                   - Before installing the RSA II software, make sure the 
                     mini USB cable (if needed) is connected between the 
                     RSA II and a USB port on the xSeries server.  Also 
                     make sure the RSA II is configured for "Other OS".  
                     If either of these steps are not performed then the 
                     RSA II software installation may fail.  Refer to the 
                     RSA II InstallationGuide and RSA II User's Guide for 
                     additional information.

       -----------------------------------------

             3.1   Installation steps:

                   - Execute the RSA II x64 package ( i.e. XXXXXXXX.EXE, where 
                     XXXXXXXX is the current name of the package-for-the-web 
                     .EXE file ).

             3.2   Other:

                   - Before installing the RSA II software, make sure the 
                     mini USB cable (if needed) is connected between the 
                     RSA II and a USB port on the xSeries server.  Also 
                     make sure the RSA II is configured for "Other OS".  
                     If either of these steps are not performed then the 
                     RSA II software installation may fail.  Refer to the 
                     RSA II InstallationGuide and RSA II User's Guide for
