Chapter 4: Operating an Origin200 System

In a two-module system, press the front power switch on the master node. (The
front power switch on the slave node is inactive.)
Press the button far enough to feel a slight "click."
After you press the button, the status LED turns red, then green as the system
boots.
As the system boots, power is applied to the 3.5-inch peripherals in order,
starting with the drive in slot 1 (the system disk) and proceeding to slot 6. After
the 3.5-inch peripherals have power, power is applied to the 5.25-inch
peripherals.
If the LED does not change colors, and the system does not appear to power on,
switch the main power switch off, wait 7 seconds, turn the main power back on,
and press the front panel switch again.
Note:
By default, the module system controller does not apply power until you press
the front power switch. However, you can set it to automatically power on using the
aut module system controller command. See "Using the AUX Port and Module
System Controller Commands" on page 98.
3. You see several screens of diagnostic messages as the system performs various
self-tests.
Be aware that the more memory that is installed in the system, the longer the tests
may take. For example, a system with 512 MB of memory may take over 2 minutes
to complete its diagnostics.
When the diagnostics finish, you see the System Maintenance Menu:
Running power-on diagnostics...
