Turning On The System - HP Model 743 PC Owner's Manual

NOTE:

Turning On the System

To turn on the system, perform the following, with all peripheral devices
turned off:
1 Turn on the power to your display. The power indicator LED on the dis-
play unit shows that it is turned on, even if the screen remains dark. Make
sure of the following:
• The appropriate LAN connection has been made to the Model 743.
• If you use a remote graphical display host connected via LAN, make
sure the remote system is configured to host the board computer. Nor-
mally, you will use a character terminal connected to the RS-232C
(Port A), on the board computer.
2 Check the SCSI connections and power on any peripheral devices.
3 Turn on the VME card cage. Your Model 743 system turns on with the
VMEbus card cage that it is plugged into.
If your Model 743 does not have on-board or supplementary graphics, the
default console display is available through the RS-232C (Port A).
If there is a problem arising from the console path having been changed, you
can boot your Model 743 to display on any console device. See "Configuring
the Console Path and Display Format" in Appendix A.
The green LED (on the right) on the panel blinks slowly until HP-UX is
booted; then remains on. The red LED (on the left) will be on when power
is activated and before HP-UX boots. After VME Services is booted, the
red light is off.
