5.2 Applying the SLT
In this section, you apply changes to the operating system kernel and start the system. The steps in this
section do modify your system software. However, this section does not complete the modification task.
To apply the factory SLT to the system:
1. From the console, mount the factory supplied System Load Tape (SLT) and put the tape drive online.
Wait until a message displays on the system console verifying that the tape mounted.
2. If you are using the AutoRestart product and AUTOBOOT is enabled, turn it off so the system won't
automatically reboot from the primary boot path.
:RUN BLDDUMP.HP36375.TELESUP
blddump>AUTOBOOT OFF
blddump>EXIT
3. If your system is up, shut it down now. The system is already down if you are performing a new install.
CTRL-A
=SHUTDOWN
4. Reset the system after the last shutdown message (SHUT6).

If the system does not respond to the CTRL-B entry within ten seconds, press the reset button, key

automatically.
