Turning on the system
If you are also adding or replacing secondary external disk drives, do not power-up the
system. Continue with Adding or replacing external SCSI disk drives
on page 102.
To turn on the system:
1. Turn on all external SCSI devices starting with the device that is farthest from the
system and working toward the system.
2. Turn on the system monitor.
3. Turn on the system.
4. Press Stop+A simultaneously after the console banner is displayed, but before the
system starts booting.
5. Enter the following commands:
setenv auto-boot? false
reset-all
This resets the system and the ok prompt is displayed.
6. Enter:
probe-ide
This checks to see that the system recognizes the new disk drives. If the new drives
are not listed, make sure there is a secure connection between the motherboard and
the new drives.
7. Reboot the system by entering the following commands:
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: If you fail to enter these commands, any reboots that you do in the future will
stop at the boot prompt instead of proceeding through the normal boot-up
process.
setenv auto-boot? true
boot -r
The system reboots.
