1.0  Overview
_____________

  This README file contains instructions for installing and starting
  the IBM ServeRAID IPSSEND command-line program.

  IPSSEND is an advanced command-line program that you can use to
  manage your ServeRAID adapters and controllers.  This utility
  program is provided on the "IBM ServeRAID Support" CD and the
  "IBM ServeRAID Command-Line Programs" diskette.

  You can use the IPSSEND program to view the configuration of a
  ServeRAID adapter or controller, rebuild a defunct drive, initialize
  logical drives, synchronize logical drives, and perform other
  functions.

  The "IBM ServeRAID Command-Line Programs" diskette is a DOS
  startable (bootable) diskette; you can use the IPSSEND program
  after starting the diskette.

2.0  Installation and setup instructions for Windows NT 4.0 and 
     Windows 2000
_______________________________________________________________

  1.  Start the server.

  2.  Create an IPSADM directory on your hard disk drive.  To do 
      this, go to the operating system command prompt and type:

      md c:\ipsadm

      where c: is the drive where Windows is installed.

  3.  Press Enter.

  4.  If you are installing from the "IBM ServeRAID Support" CD:

      *  For Windows NT, type:

         copy d:\programs\winnt\cmdline\nt4_0\ipssend.exe c:\ipsadm

      *  For Windows 2000, type:

         copy d:\programs\winnt\cmdline\Win2k\ipssend.exe c:\ipsadm

      If you are installing from the "IBM ServeRAID Command-
      Line Programs" diskette:

      *  For Windows NT, type:

         copy a:\nt\ipssend.exe c:\ipsadm

      *  For Windows 2000, type:

         copy a:\Win2k\ipssend.exe c:\ipsadm

      where a is the diskette drive
            c:\ipsadm is the directory you created in step 2
            d is the CD-ROM drive

  5.  Press Enter.


3.0  Starting IPSSEND on Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000
________________________________________________________

  Run the IPSSEND program from the operating system command line.

  To start the IPSSEND program:

    1.  Type:

        c:\ipsadm\ipssend

        where c:\ipsadm is the directory where IPSSEND is installed.

    2.  Press Enter.


4.0  Using IPSSEND on Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000
_____________________________________________________

  When you run the IPSSEND program with no command-line parameters, a
  list of available commands and their specific parameters are
  provided.  All commands require a minimum set of parameters to
  execute the command.  If you run the IPSSEND program with a
  specific command, but without its required parameters, specific
  help for that command will be displayed.
