Powering Up Your System - HP j6700 Getting Started Manual

Powering Up Your System

After you have connected the various parts of the workstation—for
details, see the J6000 Quick-Install Poster that came with your
workstation—you are ready to power up the system. At this point, there
are two possibilities:
• Your workstation has been "ignited;" that is, the HP's Instant Ignition
process has installed the operating system already. In this case, when
you power up the workstation, you will be presented with a series of
questions asking you the machine's host name, IP address, subnet
mask, and other basic configuration questions (see the section
"Information You Need to Record"). When these questions are
answered, the CDE login screen will appear.
• Your workstation has not been "ignited;" that is, HP's Instant Ignition
process has not installed the operating system already. In this case,
you will need to install the operating system from the HP-UX CDs.
For details, see the CD Booklet included with the CDs. When the
operating system is installed, you will need to answer the questions
noted above for the ignited system. After the questions have been
answered, the CDE login screen will appear.
Once the CDE login screen appears and you are logged in as root
(initially there is no password), you will be able to create other users'
accounts and do whatever other configuration and installations required
to get the machine into its desired state. See the HP CDE Getting Started
Guide and the Common Desktop Environment User's Guide for
instructions on typical tasks.
