| |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''. Let it do its thing for 5-10 mins, then look at its terminal: On the KVM (keyboard-video-mouse) console ([[vatt:miscellaneous_tips|Tips on how to use the unit.]]), highlight the entry labeled ''vattdata'' using the up/down arrow keys, and press ''Enter''. When the RISC drives are mounted and the system is fully booted, the text stops scrolling on the screen and an ASCII list of 12 options appears. This indicates that all is well and no further action is required. | | | |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''.

| |Note 5|Boot ''VATTtel'' (follow these instructions: [[vatt:vatt_reboot_vatttel|(Re)Booting VATTtel]]) only when ''vattdata'' is running. ''VATTtel'' uses its ancient network card to ftp a *.cmd file from ''vattdata'', and it does not respond well to time pressure. | | | |Note 5|Boot ''VATTtel'' (follow these instructions: [[vatt:vatt_reboot_vatttel|(Re)Booting VATTtel]]) only when ''vattdata'' is running.

The remedy is to run the ''INDImon'' script (its launcher on ''VATTcontrol'''s desktop is labeled ''Restart indidriver''), selecting option ''(3) Filter/Guidebox driver''.| | | |Note 6|Coming out of lightning shutdown the guide box is likely to run into communication problems.
