Powering On
3. Plug the system’s power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. An appropriate standard power
cord is supplied with the system for your specific country.
4. Turn on the administration console, and execute the communications program so that your
terminal emulator accesses the RS232 port connected to the system.
5. Turn on the system by pressing the POWER-ON switch located on the back of the machine. The
power light emitting diode (LED) on the front panel confirms the power supply is functioning
properly.
6. During power-on initialization, the First Stage Boot (FSB) displays a brief inventory of the
system. The FSB then writes the following message to the administration console:
Waiting for Commands:
During initial installation, no commands need to be entered at this point. Once this message is
displayed, the system waits 10 seconds before proceeding with the Second Stage Boot (stored
in flash memory). If this message is not displayed, and the Service LED is blinking, refer to the
LED Indicators chapter for instructions.
7. When the Second Stage Boot (SSB) begins executing, it performs a series of diagnostic tests
called the power-on self tests (POSTs). Nothing is displayed while these tests are running
unless a failure is detected. In the unlikely event of a failure, messages are displayed on the
console screen. Immediately after the POSTs have been completed, a summary of available
resources and system information is displayed similar to the following:
If no First Stage Boot commands were entered, and valid system software is detected, the
Second Stage Boot begins to load the system software. Dots (...) are displayed to indicate
progress. The display will look like the following:
8. Log-in and password prompts will be displayed after completion of power-on initialization
(approximately 15 seconds after the “Booting System Software” message):
The log-in for the system controls which class of commands users can access. A unique log-in
password protects each access level (“guest” or “administrator”). This lets managers assign
different responsibility levels to system users. Enter the following login:
admin
9. Follow the prompts to enter a new password. A password must be a 3 to 16 character string
without blanks. Passwords are case sensitive. If your software was previously accessed by your
distributor, your password will be admin (in lower case).
