If the Power-Up Mode switch is set to Run Mode (indicated by an arrow),
then the language selected is saved and is automatically used during
subsequent reboots of the system.
NOTE:
If the Power-Up Mode switch is set to Language Inquiry Mode
(indicated by the human profile), the system prompts for the language
at each power-up.
In addition to the Language Selection Menu, the system may issue a
list of bootable devices and prompt you to select a device from the list.
If this happens, refer to Section 2.4.1 for more information.
If your system has been powered off for more than 10 days, the
battery unit that saves the system clock and the language selection may
have run down. The Language Selection Menu will be automatically
displayed when you power on your system, regardless of the Power-Up
Mode switch setting. Once the system is booted, reset the system clock
as described in your system software manual.
2.3 Turning On the System
Once you have set the switches correctly, you are ready to turn on the
system. Use the following procedure:
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 single-host systems using the R400X or B400X expander
linked by a power bus cable, the Power switch on the VAX 4000 provides
the power control bus signal to the expander(s). Setting the Power switch
to on (1) on the VAX 4000 will cause the expander(s) to power on as well.
The Power switch on the expander(s) should always remain in the on
position (1).
When you turn on the power, you should see the indications listed in Table
2–1.
