Note
If you do not select a language within 30 seconds, the system defaults to
English (United States/Canada).
If the Power-Up Mode switch is set to Language Inquiry Mode (indicated
by a human profile), the system will prompt for the language at each
power-up.
In addition to the Language Selection Menu, your system may issue a list
of bootable devices and prompt you to select a device from the list. If that
happens, refer to Section 2.4.1 for more information.
If your system is turned off for more than 10 days, the battery unit that saves
the system clock may run down. Once the system is booted, reset the system
clock as described in your system software manual.
2.3 Turning On the System
Once you set the switches correctly, you are ready to turn on the system:
1. Turn on the console terminal and wait for it to complete its self-tests.
2. Turn on the system by setting the Power switch to 1.
Note
For systems using the R400X or B400X expander linked by a power bus
cable, the system Power switch provides the power control bus signal to
the expander. Setting that switch to on (1) causes the expander to power
up as well. The expander Power switch should always remain in the on
(1) position.
When you turn on the power, you should see the indications listed in Table 2–1.
