1. Access the ASMI. For instructions, see Accessing the ASMI without an HMC.
2. Start the system by using the ASMI. For instructions, see Powering the system on and off.
Starting a system or logical partition by using the HMC
You can use the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to start the system or logical partition after the
required cables are installed and the power cables are connected to a power source.
For instructions on working with the HMC, see Managing the Hardware Management Console. For
instructions on starting a logical partition, see Logical partitioning. For instructions on starting the
system, see Powering on the managed system.
Progress indicators, also referred to as checkpoints, appear on the control panel display while the system
is being started. When the power-on light on the control panel stops blinking and remains on, the system
power is on.
Starting a system or virtual server by using the SDMC
You can use the IBM Systems Director Management Console (SDMC) to start the system or virtual server
after the required cables are installed and the power cables are connected to a power source.
For instructions on working with the SDMC, see Managing and configuring the SDMC. For instructions
on starting a virtual server, see Managing virtual servers. For instructions on shutting down and
