Accessing the Boot Console Handler
If the workstation has crashed or power was turned off for some reason, press the power
switch and proceed to step 3. Otherwise, to access the Boot Console Handler, follow these
steps:
NOTE This procedure should be done by a system administrator or superuser with
root login permissions.
1. Close any files and applications on the workstation.
2. Press the power switch on the front panel of the workstation.
NOTE There is no need to login as root and execute the shutdown -q command to
shut down the HP-UX operating system on the workstation before powering it
off. When you turn off the power switch, the workstation automatically shuts
down the operating system before terminating the power.
Make sure you do not unplug the system's power cord or otherwise interrupt power to
the workstation at this time.
When the operating system has been properly shut down, the following message will
appear:
Shutdown complete
3. Power on the workstation after the system has completely shut down.
If auto boot is turned off, the boot sequence automatically stops at the Boot Console
Handler's Main Menu.
If auto boot is turned on, you will see the following message:
Processor is starting auto boot process. To
discontinue, press any key within 10 seconds.
