Installing Your System
2.3 Connecting System Components
During normal operation, you can control the server through a LAT terminal
server session, if terminal servers are available on your network. If terminal
server access is not available, or if client systems have trouble accessing server
services, then a locally connected terminal is needed to manage the server or
diagnose server problems. See the InfoServer System Operations Guide.
2.3.7 Connect External Expansion Boxes
If you received expansion boxes with your system, you should connect them to
your system unit now. See Chapter 3 for information on connecting external
expansion boxes.
2.4 Starting the System
To start your system, follow these steps:
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
To view the system power-up self-test display, you must allow time for
the console terminal to complete its power-up sequence.
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:
