    The IBM TotalStorage DS6000 series is supported by an Information
    Center, which is an online information system that is shipped as an
    integrated information system (also available from the Web and on a
    CD-ROM as a stand-alone information system). The Information Center
    provides easy accessibility and retrievability to user assistance topics
    through a user-friendly navigation structure. The Information Center
    navigation is categorized to allow users to quickly familiarize
    themselves with the major aspects of the product and to easily recognize
    the topics for which they require more information.

    The Information Center can be searched in its entirety for specific
    topic information that users can quickly access for more information.
    User assistance for tasks, conceptual data, referential data, user
    scenarios, tutorials, and other types of user information are all
    combined within the Information Center rather than being spread across
    several publications within the product library. This makes the
    information easier to access and allows users of the IBM TotalStorage
    DS6000 series to access information more efficiently and effectively.

    The DS6000 information center is a comprehensive, browser-based
    information system. It provides easy access to tasks, concepts,
    reference information, tutorials, code samples, scenarios, and other
    product information. It contains assistance for the tasks that
    users must perform and links to additional information.

    To find information, users can search, browse the contents, use
    the index, follow links from one topic to related topics, and print
    the topics they want to read offline. The information center is
    available at:
