# Installation summary

The following table summarizes the procedure for installing the hardware and software components:

Step | Description
--- | ---
1 | Ensure that your PC system meets the system requirements.
2 | Install the board into one of the computer's CompactPCI bus slots.
3 | Install Natural Access, which also installs the AG 2000C board driver and runtime software, and NMS CAS protocols. Select the country where NMS CAS protocols is installed. This configures loop start products for local compliance. For more information, refer to the NMS CAS for Natural Call Control Developer's Manual.
4 | Add configuration information for each board to the NMS OAM database. For more information, refer to the NMS OAM System User's Manual.
5 | Direct the OAM service to start the boards. For more information refer to Configuring and starting the system with oamsys and to the NMS OAM System User's Manual.
6 | Verify that the installation is operational.

Note: If your system is powered down, you can install the board before you install the software. It does not matter if you install the board or the software first.

The BootDiagnosticLevel keyword in the board keyword file determines the type of board diagnostic tests that take place when you boot the board. If a test fails, the test number is reported back as an error code. You must be running oammon to view diagnostic results. For more information about board level error messages, refer to the NMS Board and Driver Errors Manual.
