Types of Installation
First, define the type of installation that you wish to perform: . Single-user installation (stand-alone) . Multi-user installation (network neighborhood) . Server installation . Client installation
Single-user installation
In this option, the electronic catalog will be installed in one computer and will be used only in the same computer. All the necessary files that are used in the catalog (both data, program and control files) are installed in the single-user computer hard disk; Therefore, it is not required that the CDROM be in the CD drive unit to allow the use of the catalog. The installation procedure is performed in a single step: When the user chooses the single-user installation type, all the necessary files are copied from the CD-ROM onto the single computers hard disk.

Thus, in order to make the multi-user option run normally, at least two installations are needed: one on the Server and one on a Client. After that, a client-type installation on each new computer will be enough to provide that client machine with access to the Electronic Parts Catalog. The multi-user installation program will ask the user which step would he/she wish to perform
Server Installation
The Server Installation, which should be performed only once on each network, installs just the database and programs on the network server computer. The Server Installation can be carried out from any network computer that has a CD-ROM drive unit, i.e., not necessarily from the network server computer. The only requirement for the Server Installation is the network transparency, that is, all the Windows client computers can see and share the data folder on the server computer. Note that it is not compulsory that a Windows NT server be used; since the Windows-based clients have access to the server data folder, a Novell-NetWare, HP-UX, IBM-AIX, DECUTRIX, SUN-SOLARIS, SCO-UNIX server, among others, can be used. For instance, a UNIX system using TCP-IP protocol and NFS network service used to access Windows-based computers, will properly perform as a database for the electronic catalog. Note This kind of installation originates great data flow through your computer network. Refer to Remarks on the use in network neighborhood on page 10 of this manual for further information.

Select one of the options, Chevrolet or GMC, opening the respective folder;
Tip
Before you begin the server installation, create a new folder to store the Electronic Catalog on the server computer. This folder must be accessible to all the network clients. Remember the name you assigned to this folder, because it will be necessary to find it during the installation procedure.

Client Installation
The Client Installation, which can be performed on each network client computer that will be using the Electronic Catalog, installs the control files (dlls, ocxs, etc.). The data (database, illustrations, parts lists, etc.) and the programs will not be installed, for they will be loaded through the network whenever needed. In this type of installation, the user will be asked to provide the servers path, on which the data and programs have been previously installed. The only mandatory requirement to carry on the Client installation is that the client computer be running Windows 95 or higher, as specified in the minimum equipment requirements section of this manual. It should be clear that the Client installation can only be performed after the Server installation is completed. Procedure for the MULTI-USER CLIENT installation: 1. Insert the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive unit; 2. Double-click the CD-ROM to open it; 3. Select one of the options, Chevrolet or GMC, opening the respective folder;

Model-type filtering
Click the Filter upper button to turn on or modify the filter, or alternatively click the lower button to turn the filter off. Model-type filtering is a capability that allows you to select a specific model of vehicle on a catalog (which usually comprises a family of vehicle models) taking into account the vehicles Body, Version and Model Year.
Buttons assigned to turn on, modify and turn off the model-type filtering capability Examples of model-type filtering are: 1. To select the 1998 GLS Sedan model on the Corsa catalog, turn on the filter, select Body 19 - Sedan 4 doors, version J-GLS and Model Year 1998. 2. To select 1999 Double-Cab model on the S10 catalog, turn on the filter, select Body 7 - Double-Cab and Model Year 1999. Whenever a filter is turned on, the electronic catalog will exhibit only the specific parts that belong to the vehicle model filtered. This way, a parts list of a particular subject comprising let us say 50 parts before model-type filtering, will present for instance 20 parts or less after model-type filtering (being also possible that this list does not contain any part on the subject for the filtered model).

Note that for each filtering instance, only the parts pertaining to the filtered model are shown.

It might happen that a filtered model does not hold any part on a particular subject. In this case, the parts list of that subject will be blank. (For example, on the Silverado catalog, when we filter the model 5 - Grand Blazer, the subject Bucket and Components will not exhibit any part for the filtered model. The Model-type filtering can be performed in 2 ways: VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) decoding Body/version/year selection
VIN decoding
On the upper portion of the filtering window, type the complete VIN of the vehicle you want to query. Click the button Decode. The system will interpret and decode the given VIN, picking up options of Vehicle, Body, Version and Model Year of that specific vehicle.
Tip VIN - The Vehicle Identification Number (also known as the chassis number) is an internationally standardized number that indicates the main vehicle characteristics, such as manufacturing plant, manufacturer, production line, body, version, engine, model year, serial number, etc.
Example: 9BGSC35ZXXC320137 Vehicle: Corsa Body: 35 (Wagon) Version: C (Wind/Super/L/ST) Model Year: 1999
32
After seeing the decoding result, click the Filter button to activate the filter and search only the parts belonging to that specific vehicle model. In case you do not wish to use the filtering capability, click the Filter off button. The VIN decoding routine calculates, according to the given number, the vehicle type, the model (a combination of body and version) and the model year.
Body/Version/Year selection
With this option, it is possible to select the characteristics of the vehicle you want to filter. In the Filter dialog box, select the characteristics you want to filter in the following order: Vehicle, Body, Version and Model Year.
33
Note that, when you first select the vehicle, the body, version and year text boxes are automatically filled with data referring to the selected vehicle. From this point onwards, when you select a body type, the version and year text boxes are filled with the available options for the chosen vehicle/body combination. Finally, after selecting the version, the year text box is filled with the existing years for the model (body and version) of the chosen vehicle. In the event that you do not want to use the filter, click Filter off. Note When you use the filtering capability from the catalog window, the decoding VIN and vehicle selection text boxes become unavailable. These options are only accessible when the filtering is used from the window that presents the groups of catalogs.
Tip You can use the filter choosing only one selection criteria if you wish. For example, select a vehicle and only the year. In this case, all the models of that particular vehicle that belong to the selected year are filtered.
34
Catalog
The catalog window exhibits the illustration and the parts list referring to the subject chosen on the groups window.
As you drag the mouse over an item on the illustration, the corresponding part on the parts list will be highlighted. If you happen to click over an illustration while dragging the mouse, the link between the illustration and the parts list feature will be temporarily disabled. In this case, a notice will be displayed at the right upper part of the window. The temporary disabling of this feature aims at easing the navigation up to the parts list in order to include that particular part (the whose illustration was selected when you clicked the mouse over the illustration) on the pick-list or to open the Part detais window. To re-activate the link between the illustration and the parts list feature, just click again over the portion of the window that contains the illustrations .
