This manual is part of the NonStop S-series server manual set.
For more specific details and implementations of the concepts described in this 
manual, you might want to refer to the NonStop S-Series Planning and Configuration 
Guide. That guide describes how to plan and configure a NonStop S-series server and 
provides a case study documenting a sample system. It also describes the ServerNet 
fabrics, the available hardware and software configurations for NonStop S-series 
servers, site planning and preparation, creating the operational environment, and 
making hardware and software configuration changes to an existing server. The 
NonStop S-Series Planning and Configuration Guide is written for those who are 
responsible for planning the installation, configuration, and maintenance of the server 
and the software environment at a particular site.
In addition, the NonStop S-Series Planning and Configuration Guide provides lists and 
descriptions of all the manuals in each manual set.

Change Bar Notation
Change bars are used to indicate substantive differences between this edition of the 
manual and the preceding edition. Change bars are vertical rules placed in the right 
margin of changed portions of text, figures, tables, examples, and so on. Change bars 
highlight new or revised information. For example: 
The message types specified in the REPORT clause are different in the COBOL85 
environment and the Common Run-Time Environment (CRE).
