CHAPTER 3
Powering On and Powering Off the
System
This chapter describes how to power on and power off the system, and how to
initiate a reconfiguration boot.
This chapter explains the following tasks:
■ “Powering On the Server Remotely” on page 58
■ “Powering On the Server Locally” on page 59
■ “Powering Off the System Remotely” on page 60
■ “Powering Off the Server Locally” on page 62

Before You Begin
Note – Before powering on the system, you must attach a system console device to
gain access to the system. See Chapter 2. ALOM automatically boots up when the
system is plugged in.
The following is a brief summary of powering on the system properly:
1. Attach a system console device to the serial management port and turn the
console device on.
Serial management access is only possible during first-time startup.
2. Plug in the system power cords.
ALOM boots and starts issuing console messages. At this time, you can assign a
username and password.
