 |Instrument room |Power up the two UPS units at the bottom of the right rack by holding down the power button on each until an audible signal (beep) is heard, then release the button | |
 |Instrument room |After the fans have finished spinning up, press the power button on the KVM auxiliary monitor (above the ''vattarchive'' server). ⇓ | |
-|::: |
+|::: |After ''FREE'' flag is displayed, indicating the KVM is finished booting, press the ''PrScr'' key (empty server-selector window will appear) |::: |
+|Instrument room |Power up ''vattdata'': Momentarily press down the power button. (There are three LEDs on the right of the server front panel. The top one is amber, the lower two are off. The top one is also the power button. Release the top one when it turns green.) | |
+|::: |KVM: ''vattdata'' should appear in the server-selector; its indicator should turn green |::: |
+|::: |More help on the KVM is available in [[vatt:miscellaneous_tips|Miscellaneous Tips]] |::: |
+|::: |KVM: Connect to ''vattdata'' (using the up/down scroll keys or the trackpad; hit ''Enter'') |::: |
+|::: |KVM connected to ''vattdata'': Boot sequence for ''vattdata'' is displayed. When complete, the screen should have the appearance of a text terminal. The contents should stop scrolling and an ASCII list of 12 items should appear. If the computer is left unattended for a long time after it is booted, some error messages may appear under the list. Ignore them. If it has been an extremely long time, the error messages may take up the whole screen. If that is the case, hit ''Enter'' and the list of 12 items will reappear. |::: |
+|Instrument room |Power up all the rest of the servers: ⇓ | |
+|::: |Make sure ''vattdata'' is fully booted (takes approx. 10 mins) before you proceed to the other servers |::: |
+|::: |Power up ''vattcontrol'', ''vattiraf'', ''vattdev'', ''vattarchive'', ''vattccda'', and ''PEPSI'' |::: |
+|::: |//Note. ''vattiraf'', ''vattccda'' and ''vattdev'' are not needed for PEPSI runs, while ''PEPSI'' is not needed for VATT4k runs and ''vattccda'' is not needed for GUFI runs. It is our policy, however, to boot **all** the servers up because bad things happen if servers are left powered down for months; so we err on the side of prudence and always power them all up. What is more, certain servers may be used by our colleagues remotely (including computer support). ''vattdev'', in particular, is useful because it is the portal through which the port-forwarded access to other machines is served to the outside world.// |::: |
