After you power on a system console, the console executes a set of startup hardware
diagnostics. After the OS logo appears:
1. When prompted, press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to log on.
2. A logon screen shows the user name/administrator and password blank. Leave the
password blank and click OK to complete logon.
The desktop appears, listing software applications in the form of icons.
The software on the system console hard disk has been installed to operate this
workstation for NonStop servers. This configuration must be maintained in the user
environment. Altering this configuration is not supported. Neither is loading and using
software not approved for the system console. For a list of approved software, see
Preloaded and Supported Hardware and Software on page 1-49.
If the operating system fails to load properly, see Appendix D, Troubleshooting.
