SERVER INSTALLATION
(LOCAL NETWORK)For your convenience, you might want to print these instructions.
The computer chosen as the CPU server must run Windows NT Server 4.0 or Windows 2000 Server. The other computers (known as clients) in the classroom network must be PCs running Windows 95, 98, NT, or 2000.
If you are not sure whether the PCs in your classroom are networked, only carry out the instructions in the first section (Standard Installation). Consult with your system administrator or local technical expert before you configure the CPU Server.
The instructions below are for the CPU (Windows NT/2000) server ONLY. For installations on other computers in the network, consult the document Client Installation (Local Network) after performing the Server Installation.
Note: You need Administrator privileges to install CPU Simulation Software on a Windows NT or 2000 server.
Standard Installation
Quit all programs. Then insert the CPU Simulation Software CD into your computer's CD-ROM drive.
Open My Computer and double-click on the icon for the CD-ROM drive.
|
To begin the installation, double-click on the Multi-User Installer icon. |
 |
On the Welcome screen, click on Next.
|
By default, the Destination Folder (the folder in which the CPU software is installed) is named CPU Simulators and is located on C drive. If you prefer another location or folder name, click on Browse. |
 |
Otherwise, click on Next.
|
By default, the Installation Wizard installs the complete CPU software package. If you would rather install only some components, see the instructions at the end of this document for a Custom Installation. Otherwise, click on Next. |
 |
|
In the Select Program Folder window, you can
select the name of the program folder that appears on the
Start Menu If you would rather have a different name for the program folder than the default CPU Simulators, type the name in the Program Folders field. |
 |
in the Programs submenu 
.Then click on Next.
The Installation Wizard takes a couple minutes to install the program.
|
When installation is complete, we recommend that you opt to restart the computer (as indicated). Click Finish. |
 |
When the computer has rebooted, you can begin using the CPU Simulation Software on the server itself. See Starting Simulators: The Basics.
The next section describes how to configure the Windows NT/2000 computer as the CPU Server.
Configuring the CPU Server
Open My Computer. Double-click on C drive. On C drive, open the folder CPU Simulators.
|
In CPU Simulators, double-click on the MiniInstallerServer.exe icon. |
 |
|
The Client Configuration screen asks you to choose your network type. If all the PCs that will be using CPU in your network have Windows NT or 2000, check Windows NT server and Windows NT only clients. If any PCs, even just one, have Windows 95 or 98, check Windows NT server and Windows 95/98/NT clients. Then click OK. |
 |
|
The next screen informs you that user CPU_User is being created to become the share owner. This means that when people on other computers in the network (called clients) want to connect to the CPU Server, they must connect under the name CPU_User and supply a password. This requirement applies to Windows NT clients only. Enter and reenter a password of your choice as indicated. Then record it. If you are reconfiguring the CPU Server, you will need to first enter the old password. Click OK when you are ready to continue. |
 |
The "mini-installer" will take a few seconds to complete and then tell you that Client Installer has been configured. Click OK to finish.
|
Return to the folder. The "mini-installer" has created a program called MiniInstallerClient.exe. |
 |
You'll use this program to configure the other PC computers in your network to use CPU. For each computer, follow the instructions in the document Client Installation (Local Network).
Custom Installation
|
On the Setup Type Selection screen, select Custom Install as indicated. Then click on Next. |
 |
On the Select Components screen, you can see a description of a CPU software component by clicking on a component name. The description appears in the box below the component list.
|
To install a component, leave the box next to the name checked (or check the box if it is unchecked). To not install a component, uncheck the box as indicated to the right. |
|
Each CPU software components come its their own Help feature. The Help feature documents every facet of the simulators and is an invaluable aid to users new to the simulators.
However, each component's Help feature requires a couple hundred files (about 1400 total). For reasons addressed in the Tutorial Installation Instructions, these files can take up considerable room. Because hard disk space is often precious, the installer gives you the option of not installing the Help feature for each component of CPU software.
To not install the Help feature for a software component, click on the Change button in the Description box.
|
In the Select Sub-components window, uncheck the box for the Help feature, as illustrated to the right. Then click on Continue. |
 |
Back on the Setup Type Selection screen, click on Next. Then return to the instructions above.
