After turning on the terminal power for the first time, check the terminal parameters to
make sure that they are correct for the server.
This section lists the recommended terminal parameters for making a terminal work with
Octel servers. Refer to the documentation that came with your terminal for procedures to

Starting Up the Server
After you connect the terminal to the server and set the terminal parameters, start up the
server. Refer to the appropriate server service manual for the startup procedure.
When the server receives power for the first time, it performs a series of self-diagnostic
tests. After the diagnostic tests are completed, you are prompted to enter the boot
command. Before you boot the server, select the terminal type. The server will not boot
until the correct terminal type has been selected.
