Using the Documentation Browser

Use these instructions to start the Documentation Browser.

Use the Documentation Browser to browse the contents of the CD, read brief descriptions of the documents, and view documents, using Adobe Acrobat Reader or xpdf. The Documentation Browser automatically detects the regional settings in use in your system and displays the documents in the language for that region (if available). If a document is not available in the language for that region, the English-language version is displayed.

Use one of the following procedures to start the Documentation Browser:
  • If Autostart is enabled, insert the CD into the CD drive. The Documentation Browser starts automatically.
  • If Autostart is disabled or is not enabled for all users, use one of the following procedures:
    • If you are using a Windows operating system, insert the CD into the CD or DVD drive and click Start → Run. In the Open field, type

                                       <em className="ph i">e</em>:\win32.bat
      where e is the drive letter of the CD or DVD drive, and click OK.
    • If you are using Red Hat Linux, insert the CD into the CD or DVD drive; then, run the following command from the /mnt/cdrom directory:
      sh runlinux.sh

Select your blade appliance from the Product menu. The Available Topics list displays all the documents for your blade appliance. Some documents might be in folders. A plus sign (+) indicates each folder or document that has additional documents under it. Click the plus sign to display the additional documents.

When you select a document, a description of the document is displayed under Topic Description. To select more than one document, press and hold the Ctrl key while you select the documents. Click View Book to view the selected document or documents in Acrobat Reader or xpdf. If you selected more than one document, all the selected documents are opened in Acrobat Reader or xpdf.

To search all the documents, type a word or word string in the Search field and click Search. The documents in which the word or word string appears are listed in order of the most occurrences. Click a document to view it, and press Crtl+F to use the Acrobat search function, or press Alt+F to use the xpdf search function within the document.
