Powering Up Your System - HP Visualize B1000 Owner's Manual

Powering Up Your System

After you have connected the various parts of the computer—for details,
see the B Class and C Class Installation Sheet that came with your
computer—you are ready to power up the system. At this point, there are
two possibilities:
• Your computer 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 computer, 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
"Getting Required Information"). When these are answered, the CDE
login screen will appear.
• Your computer has not been "ignited;" that is, the 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 can log in as
root—initially, there is no password. When you have logged in, you will
be able to create other users' accounts and do whatever other
configuration and installations you require to get the machine into its
desired state. See the HP CDE Getting Started Guide and the User's
Guide for instructions on typical tasks.
