Note – Connect each cord to a separate circuit to maximize system availability.
The Standby Available LEDs on the power supplies are lit, indicating that power is
being supplied to the system.

software are displayed on your system console device. The ALOM boot messages
end with the ALOM prompt:
sc>
6. At the ALOM prompt (sc>), enter the following command:
sc> console
The system will prompt you to create an administrator password.

The ALOM prompt will again be displayed.
8. At the ALOM prompt (sc>), again enter the following command:
sc> console
9. Press the Power button.
The server runs full diagnostics, which can take several minutes. Because the auto-
boot? parameter is set to true by default, installation of the Solaris operating
environment will begin at this point—if your system administrator has configured
the network for Solaris JumpStart™ installation. If the network is not so configured,
then you must install the operating environment manually, in a later step.
10. Turn the system control keyswitch to the Locked position.
The Locked position disables the Power button, which prevents anyone from
accidentally powering off the server.
11. Remove the system key from the system control keyswitch and keep it in a secure
place.
12. Close and lock the right system door.
