Powering On the System
The Model 745 has two power switches - either may be used to power on the
system (see Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2).
Before powering on the system, ensure that power cords are first connected
to both the system and the monitor, and that the power cords are then con-
nected to site power.
NOTE: When connecting power to the Model 745 chassis, one or both of the power
switches may already be in the ON position, allowing the system to power on.
If the system powers on when connecting the power cord, push either front or
rear power switch to power off the system (the LED next to the switch will be
off).
Make sure of the following:
• For systems using a graphics display, there must be a keyboard con-
nected (the monitor will not initialize if no keyboard is present).
• The appropriate LAN connection has been made to the Model 745.
• If you use a remote graphical display host connected via LAN, make
sure the remote system is configured to host the board computer. Nor-
mally, you will use a character terminal connected to the RS-232C
(Port A) on the board computer.
1 Turn on the power to your display. The power indicator LED on the dis-
play unit shows that it is turned on, even if the screen remains dark.
2 Check the SCSI connections and power on any peripheral devices.
3 The Model 745 has two power switches - either may be used to power on
the system. Push the power switch on the rear of the system (see Figure 3-
1), or push the power switch on the front of the system (see Figure 3-2).
The green LED next to the switch lights when to power is ON.
