Are You Ready? 

Every HP 3000 Series 9X8LX arrives with HP Easytime/iX preinstalled.  If
you did not receive HP Easytime/iX installed as part of your system, you
need to install the software before you can use the program.  You receive
the program on either a 1/2-inch magnetic tape or on a digital data
storage (DDS) cassette.

MPE/iX system manager or operator capabilities are required to install HP
Easytime/iX. Follow the installation instructions that you received with
your tape.

To customize HP Easytime/iX 

If you are the system manager, you can use the setup program to customize
the HP Easytime/iX program.  See "Customizing HP Easytime/iX" in chapter
3 of this manual.  This program is optional.  HP Easytime/iX arrives set
up for you.  You can use it as is, or customize it to meet your
particular needs.
