Step 26: Start Your System
1. If an operating system has been preinstalled in your Model 6C4 or Model 6E4
system, or if you plan to install one now, refer to the operating system installation
documentation.
Note: Operating system installation is handled in one of the following ways:
v Preinstalled at the manufacturing site.
v Installed from a CD-ROM if a CD-ROM drive is installed. The CD-ROM
drive is a customer-installable option for the pSeries 630 Model 6C4 and
Model 6E4.
v Installed from a NIM server. Refer to
Network Installation Management
Guide and Reference
for information on installing your operating system
from a NIM server.
2. If you want to run diagnostics on your system, go to Chapter 3, “Verifying the
Hardware Operation” on page 43.
3. Power on the system, as follows:
a. Look for OK in the operator panel display, which indicates that the system is in
standby mode. The green power LED should be blinking slowly.
b. Press the power button on the operator panel. The power LED on the operator
panel stops blinking and stays on. 9xxx checkpoints appear in the operator
panel display.
