Laser Safety Statement (For U.S.A. Only)

(For computers/con trollers with a CD ROM drive installed.)

The CD ROM drive is certi ed as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S. Department of Health and Human services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968.

This means that the device does not produce hazardous laser radiation. Since laser light emitted inside the device is completely con ned within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.

Warning

 

Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures different from

 

 

 

 

those specified in this manual may result in hazardous

 

 

invisible laser radiation exposure. None of the mechanisms

 

 

within the CD ROM drive contain customer or field-replaceable

 

 

parts.

 

 

The CD ROM drive becomes a Class 3B laser mechanism

 

 

 

 

 

 

when disassembled. If the CD ROM drive is disassembled,

 

 

exposure to the invisible laser beam and hazardous invisible

 

 

laser radiation could result in blindness.

 

 

Do NOT disassemble the CD ROM drive for any reason.

Initially Configuring Your System

If you have already loaded your HP-UX system and you have the \login:" prompt on your screen, go on to the next page.

3If your system has HP-UX preloaded on its disk (this is indicated by a label over the power switch on your controller), HP-UX will automatically load itself

when you rst turn the power on. During this process, you will be asked for several pieces of information needed to con gure your system appropriately:

The time zone where your controller is located.

The System name (host name) for your workstation: any alphanumeric, single-word name with eight or fewer characters.

The network address number, also called an IP number, for your workstation. This consists of four address elds separated by periods: for example, 255.32.3.10 . You may need to consult with your system administrator for this information.

After you have assembled the hardware for your system, then have the above information ready before you turn on the power to your controller for the rst time:

1.Turn on the power for your controller and display.

2.Enter the information when your system display requests it.

If you do not have the name, network i.d., and time zone information when you are prompted for it, you can use the default values now and enter this information at another time. You would enter the information later by typing:

/etc/set_parms systemname

The display will then prompt you for any information which is missing or which you may need to re-enter.

To review the steps of the boot process in detail, see the Installation Guide for this product.

Using the Command Line to Log In

To log in the first time:

 

1.

Type root at the \login: " prompt.

3

2.

Press 4

Return

5.

 

Since you haven't yet set a password, you will get a a system prompt (# for root), and you can begin using the system. To protect your data, do the following as soon as possible:

a. Set up a password for root. See the section \Selecting a Password," later in this chapter.

b. Set up a \user" account. A user account provides the login environment for doing ordinary tasks with your system, while protecting you from accidentally changing or erasing critical op erating system les. See \Setting Up a User Account", later in this chapter to set up a user account.

c. Set up a password for your user account.

Note

If you have additional (non-ro ot) internal disk devices for your

 

le systems, or if you have a DDS-Format (DAT) drive, you

 

will need to be sure they are con gured on HP-UX before you

 

can access them.

 

If you have a factory-installed root disk with Instant Ignition

 

(pre-installed HP-UX), the device les for any other included

 

devices will already be in /dev. You will need to con gure

 

swap or le systems for additional hard disk drives, according

 

to your needs, and then mount them. Use the SAM (System

 

Administration Manager) to do this, by following the procedure

 

in \Con guring for a Hard Disk Drive" in Chapter 6. Or see

 

the Installation Guide for your device(s) for the details of the

 

SAM procedures.

 

 

Starting Your System 3-3

FINAL TRIM SIZE : 7.5 in x 9.0 in

After you log in the rst time as root, the default local login script prompts you to enter your terminal type as follows. You can respond by pressing y or n

4Return5.

Is your console one of the following: a 2392A, 2393A, 2397A, or 700/92?

3[y/n]:

If you respond n (or 4Return5), you will see a row of numbers which asks you to determine the width (in columns) of your screen. Respond by entering the largest number you can see on the right (\128" is typical). If you are using a

VGA display, enter the largest number you can see on the right of the rst line .

Similarly, you will see a display of numbered rows. You will be asked to determine the row with the largest number, in the upper left. Resp ond by entering the largest number you see (\49" is typical). The system responds with a number (such as \300h") which indicates the TERM setting for this session.

To Log In Later as User

You will use the procedure in the next section to set up a user account. Then, when you log in as user name, your system displays the following during login:

TERM = (hp)

Pressing 4Return5 sets the TERM environment variable to \hp", the default value. Generally, this is all you will need to do, since \hp" de nes appropriate format values for Hewlett-P ackard terminals.
