Powering On the System
If there is a problem arising from the console path having been changed, you
can boot your Model 745 to display on any console device. See "Configuring
the Console Path and Display Format" and "Using the Emergency Interactive
Console Search" in Appendix B.
The board computer's green LED (on the right) on the front panel blinks
slowly until the OS is booted; then remains on. The red LED (on the left)
will be on when power is activated and before HP-UX boots. After the OS
is booted, the red light is off.
4 The system displays a sequence of boot messages. The Model 745 boots
from its internal disk unless it has an external disk or another LAN-con-
figured system selected to boot. See Appendix B for configuring an auto-
matic boot selection. Otherwise, allow the boot to continue.
5 During the boot process, a new system displays messages prompting you
for the host name, IP number, and time zone. If you have this information,
enter it as requested. Otherwise, press Enter.
You can also enter or update this information later by typing the following
after you log in as root:
set_parms initial Enter
The information is as follows:
a The time zone where your system is located.
b The host name for your system: any alphanumeric, single-word name
with eight or fewer characters.
c The network address number, also called an IP address, for your sys-
tem. This consists of four address fields separated by periods: for ex-
ample, 255.32.3.10. You may need to consult with your system
administrator for this information. Or, if your host name and IP ad-
dress have already been assigned, you can find out the host name, after
boot, by entering uname -a. If you know your host name, you can de-
termine your IP address by entering nslookup host_name, at the sys-
tem prompt.
