Before You Begin

If a terminal or local console is not already connected to the system, you need to install one before continuing the startup procedure.

• See "About Setting Up a Console".

Do not use this power-on procedure if you have just installed an internal or external storage device, or any new part that plugs into the main logic board. To power on the system after adding any of these options, see "How to Initiate a Reconfiguration Boot".
