Loading the System
If one or more of the startup event stream windows or startup TACL windows does

within each window. This step is described in the NonStop S-Series Operations 
Guide.
4. Monitor the system startup process. Messages indicating the progress and 
completion of the system load, as well as the reload of processors indicated in the

If nothing appears in any of the startup event stream windows and startup 
TACL windows, you must connect to MSP 1 within each window. For 
instructions, see the NonStop S-Series Operations Guide.
•
If the system load fails, look for halt codes or messages displayed in the 
System Startup dialog box or related events in the OSM or TSM Event Viewer. 
For recovery procedures, see the Processor Halt Codes Manual or Operator 
Messages Manual and contact your service provider.
•
If no messages appear in the Detailed Status box, the system load has 
probably failed.
•
After the operating system is running on the server, messages are no longer 
sent to the System Status box. See the event messages sent to the startup 
event stream window.
