Superdome Installation
Superdome systems are not intended for access by users. HP recommends that Superdome systems only be
opened by a qualified HP engineer. Failure to observe this requirement can invalidate any support agreement
or warranty to which the system owner might otherwise be entitled.
Installation Prerequisites

command:
echo $PATH
