Powering On the System

Helpful Hint – If you are installing optional components, go to "Installing Optional
Hardware" on page en-24 before powering on the system. If you are not installing
optional components, you are ready to power on the system.
1. Turn on power to the monitor and to all external devices.
2. Press the power switch on the front panel and release it (see
3. After several seconds, verify that the power indicator LED on the power switch is
lit and listen to verify that the system fans are spinning.
The power indicator LED on the power switch will light after the system begins the
internal booting process. If you experience problems during power on, see
"Troubleshooting" on page en-38.
Helpful Hint – After you power on the system for the first time, you are ready to set
up the preinstalled Solaris operating environment software. Go to "Setting Up the
Preinstalled Solaris Operating Environment Software" on page en-8.
Setting the Serial Port Mode
The serial ports of the system support the RS-232 and RS-423 protocols.
The default mode on both ports of new systems is RS-423. You can set the modes of
the ports with a software command, as follows:
1. Halt the system to display the system ok prompt.
2. Type one of the following, depending on which port you are setting:
To set the serial port A mode, type:
setenv ttya-mode 9600,8,n,1,-,<mode>
To set the serial port B mode, type:
setenv ttyb-mode 9600,8,n,1,-,<mode>
where <mode> is either rs232 or rs423.
3. Type reset-all to make the new mode operational on your system.
Note – If you set the mode of only one of the serial ports, both ports are set to the
mode of this single port.
