Booting the HP 9000 rp8420 server
Powering on the server can be accomplished by either pressing the power switch on the front panel or by
using the PE command to power up the cabinet or complex at the MP command menu.
If using a LAN crossover cable with the laptop, review server activity for each partition configured while the
server powers up and boots. Windows can be opened for the complex and for each partition. HP recommends
that at least two windows be opened:
• A window showing all activity in the complex. Following the installation procedure in this manual causes
a window to be open at startup.
To display activity for the complex:
1. Open a separate Reflection window and connect to the MP.
