v 10 MB available hard disk space or more v LAN connection (either Ethernet or Token-Ring) v Access to at least one InfoPrint Manager server (either on a local system or remotely over a LAN) To communicate with other systems across a LAN (including InfoPrint Manager server systems), you must install a suitable token-ring, ethernet, or FDDI adapter card and connect the appropriate cabling. Printer attachment requirements RS/6000 requirements You need one or more IBM 4033 LAN Connections for Printers and Plotters Models 1 or 3 or IBM 7318 Serial Communications Network Servers if you are connecting more then one parallel-attached printer or two serial-attached printers to one RS/6000®. Each 4033 has one parallel port and one serial port that you can connect printers to. You can connect multiple 4033s to one RS/6000 to accommodate your parallel- and serial-attached printer needs as determined by performance considerations. Each 7318 provides two parallel and sixteen serial ports on the network. TCP/IP-attached printer requirements Printers must be TCP/IP-attached to the RS/6000 using their Ethernet or Token-Ring attachments. Understanding AIX software requirements InfoPrint Manager for AIX requires the AIX operating system is installed at one of these Versions: v AIX 5.3 Maintenance Level 5 or higher v AIX 6.1 To ensure correct operation, InfoPrint Manager requires that certain components of the AIX operating system be installed on your RS/6000 system. It is up to you to install the base level of these components from your AIX product CD-ROMs before starting the InfoPrint Installer for Version 4.3.0 (see InfoPrint Manager for AIX: Installation Instructions for more information about using the InfoPrint Installer). To install the InfoPrint Manager base, we recommend that you simply run the InfoPrint Installer. If you are missing any required base AIX filesets for Version 4.3.0, the installer lists them and directs you to install them from your AIX product CD-ROMs. To make the installation as easy as possible, the InfoPrint installer will automatically apply service to your AIX software to meet InfoPrint Manager prerequisites. This service is needed to make sure that InfoPrint Manager will function properly. Be advised, however, that the installer will not automatically apply service that is hardware-specific. InfoPrint Manager supports running on Version 5.3 in a 32-bit or 64-bit kernel environment, or Version 6.1 in a 64-bit kernel environment.

InfoPrint Manager for AIX requires the AIX operating system is installed at one of
these Versions:
v
AIX 5.3 Maintenance Level 5 or higher
v
AIX 6.1
To ensure correct operation, InfoPrint Manager requires that certain components of
the AIX operating system be installed on your RS/6000 system. It is up to you to
install the base level of these components from your AIX product CD-ROMs before
starting the InfoPrint Installer for Version 4.3.0 (see
InfoPrint Manager for AIX:
