Starting and Testing a System Console
Starting and Testing a System Console
This subsection describes how to power on a system console and ensure that it is
operating properly. You start and test a system console before you start the server,
connect the workstation to the dedicated service LAN, and configure the OSM or TSM
environment.
If you encounter problems with any of the procedures described in this subsection, see
the diagnostic and corrective procedures provided in Appendix D, Troubleshooting.
Powering On a System Console
If you received an Ethernet switch, you do not need to install or power on the switch
until you connect the system console to the network. See Section 10, Configuring the
System.
Be sure to power on the system console components in the order described here:
1. Power on the modem.
If your system console has a modem, see the documentation included with the
modem for instructions on powering on and testing the modem.
2. Power on the display monitor.
Power on the display monitor by pressing the power switch on the display monitor.
Within a few seconds, the display should become visible.
3. Power on the system unit.
Power on the system unit by pressing its power switch. To find the power switch,
see the documentation included with the system unit.
