System Overview
Powering Up Your System
Turning on the Power
1.
Turn on the monitor and any external peripherals (for example,
printers) connected to the workstation.
2.
Turn
on
the
workstation.
The
workstation
will
run
a
series
of
self-tests.
3.
After two or three minutes, a series of messages are displayed as
various hardware and software subsystems are activated. Unless
something is wrong with your system, you are not asked to respond to
these messages.
4.
A series of windows appears requesting the information you gathered
in the previous section, such as your host name, IP address, and time
zone. Enter the information as it is requested.
NOTE
You should enter the host name when requested; otherwise, you will get
an error message when you log in.
If you do not have other pieces of information, press Enter to use the
default value. You can provide missing information later by logging into
a terminal emulator window as superuser and executing this command:
/sbin/set_parms
5.
The next question asks if you want to set a
root
password. The
root
password is the password used for the account of the “superuser”—a
special user who has permission to perform all system administration
tasks. The username for the superuser is
root
.
6.
When
you
have
finished
answering
all
of
the
questions,

login screen.
