To install DSK Manager on your system from the DMINST.ZIP file you received via E-mail or Website Download, please follow these exact instructions:

1. Sign on to your AS/400 from a PC that is configured for Client Access/400. You must sign on using the special IBM-supplied user profile QSECOFR.

2. Run the following command:

   CRTFLR FLR(KISRMT) AUT(*ALL)

3. Run the following command:

   CRTPF FILE(QGPL/DSKINSTALL) RCDLEN(80)

4. From your PC, create a folder on your desktop named TEMP and move the DMINST.ZIP file into it, then unzip it to create the installation files.

5. From your desktop, click on the Operations Navigator. When it opens, all operations here will take place on the right side of the display box. Click on the following sequence of items displayed:
   • Your iSeries-AS/400 location
   • File Systems (Note: if this does not appear, you will have to install additional Client Access functions on your PC to complete this procedure.)
   • Integrated File System
   • QDLS
   • Kisrmt
   Now drag and drop the files from the TEMP folder on your PC desktop into the right-hand box of the Operations Navigator display. This will transfer these files into the shared folder environment. (Note, you do not need to transfer the zip file itself.)

6. Now go back to the OS/400 command line and run the following command:

   CPYFRMPCD FROMFLR(KISRMT) TOFILE(QGPL/DSKINSTALL)
   FROMDOC(INSTALL)

7. Also from the OS/400 command line, run the following command:

   SBMDBJOB FILE(QGPL/DSKINSTALL)

   Note: This command requires that the IBM supplied user profile QPGMR be an active entry in your system directory. If you are unsure about the status of your directory, use the WRKDIRE command to verify that it contains an entry for QPGMR.

8. At this point, a job will be loaded into your system jobque called DMINST. When the job starts running from the jobque, the following message will be sent to the QSECOFR user profile:

   "Starting DSK Manager install"

   and when this step completed, the following message will also be sent to the QSECOFR user profile:

   "Initial DSK Manager install processing now complete"

9. When you receive this message, type the following command on the AS/400 command line:

   GO DISKMGR/INSTALL 

10. When the INSTALL menu is displayed, type menu option #1 to complete the installation process. When this command is finished, DSK Manager will be installed on your system for your FREE 30 DAY TRIAL.

11. To display the user menu for DSK Manager by keying the following command:

    GO DISKMGR/MASTER
