3Installing the OpenVMS Operating System  



This chapter explains how to install the I64 operating system. It includes sample output similar to what you might see during an installation and explains how to respond to the prompts.

If you purchased a system with the operating system preinstalled, then most of the information in this chapter does not apply. The first time you power up your preinstalled system, you are prompted to enter only the information necessary to customize your installation. Refer to the documentation provided with your system.


NoteBefore you install the OpenVMS operating system, ensure that the correct version of firmware is running in your computer. For information about Integrity server system firmware, refer to Firmware on Integrity Server Systems.



This chapter is organized into sections and steps that describe the major tasks for installing OpenVMS, in the order in which these tasks must be performed. Installation Tasks includes a checklist that you can use to make sure you perform all the installation tasks described in this chapter.
