  2. Navigate to Host Management > Boot Mode. In the Script text box enter "setenv auto-boot? false" and click SAVE.
  3. Navigate to Host Management > Power Control. Select Power On and click SAVE to boot up the host.
  4. Switch to the Remote Host Console window and monitor the boot process, where it should stop at the OpenBoot firmware prompt.
  5. Proceed to Configure OpenBoot Firmware to verify and update OBP settings.
