initializing your software
do not switch off the workstation while the software is being initialized-athis could cause unexpected results.
to initialize your software:
1. turn on the display first, and then turn on the linux workstation.
2. when the workstation is switched on, it performs a power-on-self-test (post). press esc if you want to view the post details in the hp summary screen.
if there is an error in the post, the error will automatically be displayed. for details, see the section "if a post error message is displayed" in the chapter "troubleshooting your linux workstation."
3. if you have set a password in the workstation's set-up program, the password prompt displays after the post has completed. if the password prompt is displayed, type your password and press enter to be able to use the workstation.
