Write down the vendor and description of the disk drive installed in
SCSI address 00. This information is required later in the procedure.
(In the example shown above, the drive is a SEAGATE ST3283N.)

15

Type the date in the form MMDDHHMMYY (month, date, hour in
24-hour clock format, minute, yearÑnote that the time should be
Eastern Standard Time), or MMDDHHMMYYYY, and press [Return].

Example: 0314163098 or 031416301998

ATTENTION

During the installation or start-up of BOS, different characters than
usual represent the character delete, line delete, and interrupt functions.
During these operations,

¥ character delete (backspace), usually [Control-h], is [#]
¥ line delete, usually [Control-u], is [@]
¥ interrupt, usually [Control-c], is Delete

If you make a mistake entering the date, use [#] to delete characters.
If you press [Delete], a Т#У prompt appears; press [Control-d] to return
to where you were.

16

You are prompted to confirm the date you entered. Type y and press
[Return].

If the date is not correct, type n and press [Return]. You are then
prompted to enter the date, as in step 15.

When you enter the date successfully and respond y to the prompt,
the BOS software management menu appears (Figure 185).
