Accessing the Boot Console Interface
To access the boot console interface, follow these
steps:
NOTICE: This procedure should be done by a system
administrator.
1 Close any files and applications on your workstation.
2 Press the power switch on the front panel of the system
unit.
NOTICES: There is no need to manually shut down the HP-
UX operating system on your workstation before
powering it off. When you turn off the power
switch, your workstation automatically shuts down
the operating system before terminating the power.
Make sure that you do not unplug the system’s
power cord or otherwise interrupt power to the
system unit at this time.
3 When the system has completely shut down, power on
your workstation.
If Autoboot is turned off, the boot sequence automati-
cally stops at the boot
console Main Menu.
If Autoboot is turned on, you will see the following
messages:
Processor is starting Autoboot pro-
cess. To discontinue, press any key
within 10 seconds.
NOTICE: If you are using a power-saving monitor, you will
have less than 10 seconds from the time this
message appears to press a key.
