First Startup of a Pre-Installed System
If your system is pre-installed, you only need to perform some simple customization tasks
the first time you power it on. These are tasks like setting time and date, setting root
password, create users. A guided program, called
Installation Assistant , leads you through
the required steps. A contextual help is included in the program.
1. Be sure that you have connected all external devices to the system unit and all power
cords (including the system unit one) to the proper power outlets, as previously
described in this guide.
2. Power on all external devices (e.g., terminals and printers).
3. Power on the system unit setting the key mode switch to the Normal position.
4. After some minutes, each terminal connected to the system displays a screen asking
you to identify your system console. A specific key is indicated for each terminal. Press
the specified key on the terminal you want to use as the system console. Press a key on
only one terminal.
5. The startup procedure continues up to the display of the login prompt. Type root and
press the Enter key or click on the OK button. If you are using a graphic monitor go to
step 6, otherwise skip to step 7.

in the order they are listed. If you need information on the tasks, use the program help.
