INSTALLATION NOTES:

This kit requires a system reboot.  Compaq strongly  recommends
that  a  reboot is performed immediately after kit installation
to avoid system instability

If you have other nodes in your OpenVMS cluster, they must also
be rebooted in order to make use of the new image(s).  If it is
not possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at this
time, a rolling re-boot may be performed.

SPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

  o  Scripting of Answers to Installation Questions

     During installation, this kit will ask  and  require  user
     response  to  several  questions.  If you wish to automate
     the installation of this kit and avoid having  to  provide
     responses  to  these  questions,  you  must  create  a DCL
     command procedure that includes the following  definitions
     and commands:

         -  $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE

         -  $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT TRUE

         -  Add the following qualifiers to  the  PRODUCT  INSTALL
            command and add that command to the DCL procedure.

               /PROD=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V1.0

         -  De-assign the logicals assigned

     For  example,  a  sample  command  file  to  install   the
     VMS721H1_IIDRIVER-V0100 kit would be:
