powering up your system
powering up your system
After you have connected the various parts of the computer—for details,
see the C-Class Installation Sheet that came with your computer—you
are
ready
to
power
up
the
system.
At
this
point,
there
are
two
possibilities:
Your computer has been “ignited;” that is, the HP’s Instant Ignition
process has installed the operating system already. In this case, when
you power up the computer, you will be presented with a series of
questions asking you the machine’s host name, IP address, subnet
mask,
and
other
basic
configuration
questions
(see
the
section
“Getting Required Information”). When these are answered, the CDE
login screen will appear.
Your computer has not been “ignited;” that is, the HP’s Instant
Ignition process has
not
installed the operating system already. In
this case, you will need to install the operating system from the
HP-UX CDs For details, see the CD Booklet included with the CDs.
When the operating system is installed, you will need to answer the
questions noted above for the ignited system. After the questions
have been answered, the CDE login screen will appear.
Once
the
CDE
login
screen
appears,
and
you
can
log
in
as
root
—initially, there is no password. When you have logged in, you will
be
able
to
create
other
users’
accounts
and
do
whatever
other
configuration and installations you require to get the machine into its
desired state. See the
HP CDE Getting Started Guide
and the
User’s
Guide
for instructions on typical tasks.
