NOTE: If your system contains a B400X or R400X expander linked by a Power Control Bus cable, turning on the system turns on the expander as well.
NOTE: If you do not select a language within 30 seconds, the system defaults to English (United States/Canada). Within a few moments the console terminal should display a series of numbers as the system tests itself. The example in Figure 48 shows that display after successful testing.

Figure 49: Saving the Language MLO-004255 Now you are ready to close the system doors. 14 Close the System Doors If you plan to run diagnostic software immediately following the installation, leave the upper door open. If you plan to start up factory-installed software immediately following the installation, leave both doors open.
Close the doors as shown in Figure 50. Figure 50: Closing the Doors MLO-005578 1. Push gently at the top right of the upper door and the bottom right of the lower door. 2. Turn the key to the middle position (both doors locked) or to the top position (upper door unlocked). 15 After Installation Digital strongly recommends that you run the diagnostic software for your system before you install system software or start factory-installed software the first time.
You should now read your system Operation manual to learn how to use the system. You must know how to operate the system controls and the ISE or tape drive before you install system software or run diagnostic software. If you have factory-installed software on your system, see Appendix A for the startup procedure. Otherwise, install the software that you ordered with your system. NOTE: Systems with VMS factory-installed software have a yellow sticker on the front panel of the ISE containing that software.
Appendix A Starting and Modifying VMS Factory-Installed Software This appendix tells you how to start and modify VMS factory-installed software (FIS), which is on your system disk if you ordered one or more ISEs. FIS must be modified to accommodate customized passwords and system environment particulars. You make the modifications during a startup procedure that is executed when you start FIS the first time. The requirements for modifying FIS depend on how your system will be used.
3. If your system will be part of a cluster or network, ask your network coordinator or system administrator for your system: DECnet node name DECnet node address Cluster group number Cluster password 4. If you are not familiar with networking and clustering, examine the following manuals. VMS VAXcluster Manual Guide to DECnet–VAX Networking VMS Networking Manual A.2 Startup Procedure If you have a dual-host system, you can start with either host. 1. Enter the console mode. a.
6. Set the Break Enable/Disable switch to disable (down, dot outside circle). The system displays a banner and then prompts you for the date and time. VAX/VMS Version Vn.n Major version id = 1 Minor version id = 0 Please enter date and time (DD-MMM-YYYY HH:MM): 7. Enter the date and time in the format shown.
If DECwindows is on the system disk, you will see the following prompt. Do you want DECwindows as the default windowing system? (Y/N) NOTE: It is easy to set DECwindows as the default windowing system at a later stage. To do that, you must modify the VMS system generation parameter, WINDOW_SYSTEM, generate a new set of bootstrap parameters, and boot the system again.
The following status message is displayed when the FIS setup procedure completes. %UAF-I-RDBDONEMSG, rights database modified The system then displays messages that remind you to perform certain tasks after the software is installed: • Register any Product Authorization Keys (PAKs). • Back up the system disk. • Tailor the system disk. Finally, the system displays the following message, followed by other status messages.
If you do not enter the correct password, the system displays the following message. User authorization failure If you forget your password, follow the instructions for breaking into the system given in Guide to Setting Up a VMS System. 8. You should now perform the following operations. • Register any PAKs you received with your system. • Back up the system disk. • Delete unwanted files. To register PAKs: $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE Return If you make a mistake while entering a PAK: 1.
A.2.2 Modifying FIS for a Simple VAXcluster Network If you want to use your system as part of a simple VAXcluster network, where disks are shared between different systems in the same network, you need a node name and node ID which you can obtain from your network coordinator. The following procedure configures FIS for use as a server in a simple VAXcluster network. The configuration can be modified later, if required, using standard VMS procedures.
Enter a number in the range of 1 to 4095 or 61440 to 65535. You can obtain the number from your network coordinator. Enter the cluster’s password: Enter the password. It can be from 1 to 31 alphanumeric characters long and can include dollar signs and underlines. You can obtain it from your network coordinator. Re-enter the cluster’s password for verification: Reenter the password. Will JUPITR be a disk server (Y/N)? Enter Y.
6. Enter them as shown below. NOTE: The passwords shown are samples. You should enter your own passwords. Remember to record them. If you forget a password, you cannot log in.
At this point, the system shuts itself down and then reboots from the default boot device. The process takes several minutes, and the system displays a series of information messages. SHUTDOWN -- Perform an Orderly System Shutdown VAX/VMS Version Vn.n Major version id = 1 Minor version id = 0 . . . SYSTEM job terminated at 24-JUL-1991 14:47:28.34 Accounting information: Buffered I/O count: 133 Direct I/O count: 12 Page faults: 325 Charged CPU time: 0 00:00:55.23 7.
If you make a mistake while entering a PAK: 1. Continue the data entry sequence. 2. Reject the data at the end of the sequence when your system asks you to confirm the data. Your system then gives you an opportunity to reenter the data correctly. See the VMS License Management Utility Manual for any additional information you may need. Your system Operation manual provides information on backing up the system disk and deleting unwanted files.
A.2.3.1 Configuring for Dual-Host Systems The VMS Installation and Operations manual tells you how to configure a dual-host system for cluster operation. You can set up the system for operation as a: • Pair of boot servers for a new local area cluster to which you intend to add satellites • Two-node cluster to which you do not intend to add satellites • Pair of boot servers that you want to add to an existing cluster NOTE: You must assign the same allocation class to both systems and to the ISEs.
