Powering Up Your System

After you have connected the various parts of the computer—for details, see the B Class and C Class Installation Sheet that came with your computer—you are ready to power up the system. At this point, there are two possibilities:

Your computer has been “ignited;” that is, the HP’s Instant Ignition process has installed the operating system already. In this case, when you power up the computer, you will be presented with a series of questions asking you the machine’s host name, IP address, subnet mask, and other basic configuration questions (see the section “Getting Required Information”). When these are answered, the CDE login screen will appear.

Your computer has not been “ignited;” that is, the HP’s Instant Ignition process has not installed the operating system already. In this case, you will need to install the operating system from the HP-UX CDs For details, see the CD Booklet included with the CDs.

When the operating system is installed, you will need to answer the questions noted above for the ignited system. After the questions have been answered, the CDE login screen will appear.

Once the CDE login screen appears, and you can log in as root—initially, there is no password. When you have logged in, you will be able to create other users’ accounts and do whatever other configuration and installations you require to get the machine into its desired state. See the HP CDE Getting Started Guide and the User’s Guide for instructions on typical tasks.
