Installing Your System
Starting Your System
To start your system:
1. Turn on any expansion boxes connected to your system.
2. Turn on the console terminal connected to MMJ port 1. See your
terminal documentation. Note that a console terminal is required
when the server is first installed, to ensure proper startup and
cabling.
NOTE
Allow time for the console terminal to complete its power-up
sequence. Otherwise, you will not be able to view the system
power-up self-test display.
3. Turn on the system unit by setting the
l O
power switch on the rear
of the system unit to the on ( | ) position.
The initial power-up display appears on the console terminal in about
1.5 minutes. If you see a display similar to the following, your system
has passed all power-up tests, and the terminal’s keyboard language
has been set:

4. Load the InfoServer 100 system’s software compact disc as described
in the next section, ‘‘Loading A Compact Disc’’.
The InfoServer 100 automatically copies software from the software
disc to its RZ23 drive, in order to
bootstrap
the system.
If the software installation is successful, the console screen displays
the following message:
%ESS-I-CREATEDBOOT Boot partition created successfully.
After the first successful bootstrap, you do not need the software compact
disc in the right drive. If you have problems or want to know more about
bootstrapping the server, go to the ‘‘If You Have Problems’’ section at the
end of this chapter.
