Turning on Peripherals and the Computer

Before turning on the computer, turn on the console, terminals, and any other peripherals and peripheral buses that are attached to the computer. If the peripherals are not turned on first, neither the bus nor its peripherals will be configured into the system. Once the peripherals are on and have completed their self-check tests, turn on the computer.

	NOTE: If you have an HP-PB bus converter, it must be connected to the Mid-Bus and turned on when you boot the system. If the HP-PB bus converter is turned off or is disconnected, the system will not boot.
