Operating System Installation

MS DOS or PC DOS Installation: Use this procedure for installing the MS (or PC) DOS oper-

ating system.

If you have just completed hard disk preparation from within the MS (or PC) DOS installation

environment, proceed with MS (or PC) DOS installation as prompted. If not, place MS (or PC)

DOS disk 1 in drive A: and reboot the DACS using [Cntrl][Alt][Del].

Follow the installation prompts using all default settings until all the MS (or PC) DOS disks are

installed (Installation of the Supplemental Disk is not required for MS DOS). When installation is

complete, reboot the system.

Note: MS DOS uses 3 disks for system installation while PC DOS uses 6 disks for system instal-

lation.

At this point the system is ready for installation of any 3rd party software included with the

DACS.

Note: Adding new hard disk drives to older systems may raise problems between the single-board

computer (SBC) and the new drive. If the system has an SBC manufactured prior to 2000, check

to ensure the system will be able to “see” the drive.

Model Builder Software Installation

Boot the system up into DOS.

Insert the MODEL BUILDER INSTALLATION disk into the ﬂoppy drive.

Type:

install

Follow the directions displayed on the screen. When installation is complete, go to the next sec-

tion.

NOTE: The ﬁrst time model builder is run, it creates a ﬁle called DISPLAY.REZ. This takes sev-

eral minutes to complete and will generate a warning message. This process should not be inter-

rupted.
