NOTE: 3-4 Power-On/Power-Off Powering On the System If there is a problem arising from the console path having been changed, you can boot your Model 745 to display on any console device. See "Configuring the Console Path and Display Format" and "Using the Emergency Interactive Console Search" in Appendix B. The board computer's green LED (on the right) on the front panel blinks slowly until the OS is booted; then remains on. The red LED (on the left) will be on when power is activated and before HP-UX boots. After the OS is booted, the red light is off. 4 The system displays a sequence of boot messages. The Model 745 boots from its internal disk unless it has an external disk or another LAN-configured system selected to boot. See Appendix B for configuring an automatic boot selection. Otherwise, allow the boot to continue. 5 During the boot process, a new system displays messages prompting you for the host name, IP number, and time zone. If you have this information, enter it as requested. Otherwise, press Enter. You can also enter or update this information later by typing the following after you log in as root: set_parms initial Enter The information is as follows: a The time zone where your system is located. b The host name for your system: any alphanumeric, single-word name with eight or fewer characters. c The network address number, also called an IP address, for your system. This consists of four address fields separated by periods: for example, 255.32.3.10. You may need to consult with your system administrator for this information. Or, if your host name and IP address have already been assigned, you can find out the host name, after boot, by entering uname -a. If you know your host name, you can determine your IP address by entering nslookup host_name, at the system prompt.
