press the power switch and proceed to step 3. Otherwise, to access the
boot console interface, follow these steps:
This procedure should be done by a system administrator or superuser
with root log in permission.

There is no need to log in as root and execute the shutdown -q
command to shut down the HP-UX operating system on your computer
before powering it off. When you turn off the power switch, your
computer 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 system unit at this time.
When the operating system has been properly shut down, the
following message will appear:
Shutdown complete
3. Power on your computer after your system has completely shut down.
If auto boot is turned off, the boot sequence automatically stops at
the boot console 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.
