getting started guide
Your Linux® workstation has pre-installed Red Hat® Linux and HP
software. It is initialized the first time you start the workstation. The
software initialization process takes a few minutes. The first time
the workstation is booted, the Linux Setup Tool utility displays.
The Linux Setup Tool allows you to enter your password, network,
graphics, time, and keyboard settings for your workstation.
CAUTION: It is important not to interrupt the boot process. Doing so may
cause the boot to abort or leave the workstation in an unusable state.
To initialize your software:
1. Turn on the monitor and any peripherals you have attached to the
system.
CAUTION: Some peripherals specifically state that you should not attach
the device until the drivers are installed. Refer to the documentation for
your peripherals for additional information.
2. Press the power button on the front panel of the workstation.
When you start your workstation:
The Power-On-Self-Test (POST) runs while the workstation
logo is displayed. To view the details of this test, press Esc. If
an error occurs in the POST, the error is displayed
automatically.
The system initializes the software automatically after POST
is complete.
3. If prompted, enter the password you set up in the Linux Setup
Tool.
