1: Getting Started with the Silicon Graphics Prism
Power-On the System
If your Silicon Graphics Prism does not have a a local system console, you can manually
power it on and off by using the power buttons. To power on your system or an
individual module manually, follow these steps:
1. If the monitors and other peripherals are equipped with voltage select switches,
verify that they are set for the appropriate AC voltage and plug them in. Note that
they are normally plugged into power sources outside a rack system.
2. Turn on the circuit breaker switch of the PDU if applicable.
3. Press the power buttons on each of the modules that you want to power on in the
following order:
a. For the optional TP900 storage module, press the rear-panel power button to
ON (
I).
b. Power on all the XG2N graphics modules.
c. Power on any optional compute expansion or CMPX modules.
d. Power on the base (system) compute module last.
To boot the system from the L1 interface you must have a console connected to the system
via the console port on the base compute module. The serial connection parameters are:
• 38400 baud
•1 stop bit
•no parity
Use the following command at the L1 prompt to bring up all the system modules:
001c01-L1> * power up
If the system does not boot, recheck all power, and cable connections to be sure they are
properly plugged in. See Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting,” for additional trouble shooting
tips and L1 messaging.
