1. Software Installation Instructions:

a. Download the installation programs/files from HCL Download Site(Passport). HCL calls them "Notes installation kits".
At the time of this writing there is a FP2 out for Notes 14.0. So we install both the main software and the latest FP, which currently is FP2.

Notes:
- For the HCL Notes 14.0 client, we download the main installation file. For the MacOS, we have two choices:
- - Notes140_English_Notarized_Mac.dmg
- - Notes140_English_Notorized_ST_Conn_Mac.dmg
- As we use Sametime chat for internal use, we use the second installation file.
- There is no installation kit for the Developer and Administrator clients as they are MS Windows only.
- We run the main installation first. Then we can run the latest fix pack immediately afterwards:
- - Notes1400FP2_English_Notarized_Mac.dmg
- - Notes1400FP2_English_Notarized_ST_Conn_Mac.dmg
