      - What's included in Domino installation
        Learn more about the products that come with Domino installation.
      - Installing Domino® on Windows™
        You can install Domino® on a supported Microsoft™ Windows™ system by following this procedure, or you can perform a silent installation of a local server.
      - Installing Domino® on UNIX™
        This topic guides you through the steps for installing Domino® interactively on a UNIX™ system.
      - Installing Domino® on IBM® i
        Before installing a Domino® server on IBM® i, read the information pertaining to installing a Domino server as well as the sections of the install documentation that pertain only to IBM i.
      - Using Domino® server silent install on Windows™ or UNIX™ systems
        Use Domino® silent server installation to install servers without any intervention during the installation process.
      - Installing Domino language packs
        A Domino language pack contains translated versions of Domino templates and specific core binary files.
    - Disabling concurrent I/O and direct I/O on Domino® servers on AIX®
      Concurrent I/O (CIO) and Direct I/O (DIO) are not supported with Domino® servers. CIO is a file system feature introduced in IBM® AIX® 5.2.0.10, also known as maintenance level 01, in the Enhanced Journaling File system (JFS2). This feature improves performance for relational databases.
    - Domino® server setup program
      The Domino® server setup program guides you through the choices you make to configure a Domino server. Setting up the first Domino server in a domain establishes a framework that consists of the Domino Directory, ID files, and documents. When you set up additional servers, you build upon this framework.
    - Using the Domino® server setup program
      The following procedures describe the ways you can use the server setup program.
    - One-touch Domino setup
      Use one-touch Domino setup to simplify setting up a server.
    - Understanding the Domino® server certification log
      The Domino® certification log records server certification and ID information.
    - Domino® server registration
      Before you install and set up additional servers, you must register them. In effect, registering a server adds the server to the system. The server registration process creates a Server document for the server in the Domino® Directory and creates a server ID. After registering and installing a server, you use the server setup program to obtain a copy of the Domino Directory for the new server and to set up the server to run particular services and tasks -- for example, the HTTP service, the Mail Router, and so on.
    - Optional tasks to perform after Domino® server setup
      You can perform addition tasks after server startup.
    - Starting and shutting down the Domino® server
      Start the Domino® server at the server console.
    - Starting Domino® as an application or a Windows™ service
      If you have installed Domino® as a Windows™ service, when you start the Domino server, you are prompted to specify whether to start Domino as an application or a Windows service.
    - Using instant messaging in the Domino® Directory
      The Domino® Directory is enabled for instant messaging, meaning that you can conduct an online chat directly from the Domino Directory.
  - Uninstalling a Domino® server
    While it is not necessary to uninstall a Domino® server prior to upgrading to a new Domino release, you may want to uninstall a server.
- Downloading and distributing software using AutoUpdate
  AutoUpdate notifies you of the latest HCL Domino and Domino product family available on the Domino server, and allows you to download the software. You can also use it to distribute software to groups or selected Domino servers.
- Installing and upgrading Notes® clients
- Upgrading
  Use this documentation to upgrade the existing Domino® server and subsequently upgrade the Notes® client to a new release. You can also upgrade additional clients such as Domino Administrator and Domino Designer clients and additional features and plug-ins such as the embedded HCL Sametime® client.
