4. Press the Power button to the left of the keyswitch to power on the system.
The system will automatically run power-on self-test (POST) and OpenBoot
Diagnostics tests and display the output.
5. When the diagnostics tests are completed, and the system banner is displayed on
the system console, immediately abort the boot process to access the system ok
prompt.
The system banner contains the Ethernet address and host ID.
Note – The system may take up to 30 minutes to run diagnostic tests and display
status messages before the ok prompt appears on the system console. The time
depends on the system configuration (number of CPUs, memory modules, and PCI
cards) and the standard default configuration of the OpenBoot variables, which by
default are set at diag-level=max and verbosity=normal. To customize the
standard configuration after initial power-on, refer to the OpenBoot PROM
Enhancements for Diagnostic Operation guide, which is included on the Sun Fire V890
Documentation CD.
