If this is the first time that your workstation has been started after it was installed, go to “Starting Your Workstation for the First Time” earlier in this chapter.

Otherwise, follow these steps:

  1. Turn on the power switch on the monitor. The power LED lights to indicate that the power is on.

  2. Turn on the power to any external peripherals, such as printers, that are connected to your workstation.

  3. Turn on the power button on your workstation. The power LED lights to indicate that the power is on.

  4. As your workstation starts up, it runs a series of self-tests. For information about these self-tests, see the troubleshooting chapter in your Owner's Guide.

  5. After two or three minutes, many messages appear on your screen. These messages pertain to hardware and software subsystems that are being activated, and you should not need to respond to any of the messages.

  6. Once your workstation is running, it will display one of two ways to log in--the HP VUE login screen or a command line prompt.

    To log in, follow the instructions in “Getting Started with HP VUE”. To log in at the HP-UX command line, see “Logging In and Out of HP-UX”.

    For help with using the mouse, see “Using a Mouse”.
