-|Note 2|**Booting up the servers** in the computer racks in the Instrument Room. Slide out the KVM (keyboard-video-mouse) console. ([[vatt:miscellaneous_tips|Tips on how to use the unit.]])  Press the ''prt sc'' button (or tap the track pad) to bring up a list of computers.  To their right appears a green or red indicator.  Using the up/down arrow keys, highlight the entry labeled ''vattdata'' and press ''Enter''.  When the RISC drives are mounted and the system is fully booted, the text stops scrolling on the screen and one a ASCII list of 12 options appears. This indicates that all is well and no further action is required. Proceed to the other servers and power them **all** up. You may monitor the progress of this operation using the KVM. Hit ''prn sc'' and then ''Alt+D'' to disconnect from the ''vattdata'' text interface. Now you may connect the KVM to the servers listed (scroll and ''Enter''). | | +|Note 1|Once you have reconnected power cords, and engaged the circuit breakers, etc., it is a good idea to start by booting up ''vattdata''.
