Update the Devices, Start Taskman and Mail a Message These are basic devices to complete the setup. You can setup other devices, such as printers, later.

 
The system already comes with preconfigured devices.

 
It is best to leave the VOLUME SET(CPU) field blank. The help text for the field states: "If no name has been entered for this field, this device is assumed to be accessible from all CPUs in the network. In other words, when this device is referenced, the device handler will operate as if this device is resident on the local CPU".

 
The SIGN-ON/SYSTEM DEVICE: field should be set to NO or left blank for output devices and YES if the device is used to log on to the system.

 
Use FileMan to edit the CONSOLE, NULL, HFS, and TELNET devices.
 - CONSOLE is the primary logon device.
 - NULL device is used by the Vista RPC Broker
 - HFS is used by the Kernel Installation and Distribution System (KIDS) to install [[application~|Application]] patches and new [[application~|Application]]s when they are released.
 - TELNET device to allow remote access.
