Starting your system with an HMC attached

After the required cables are installed and the power cables are connected, the HMC user interface
provides a power-on function to turn on the power to the system. The power-on button on the operator
panel can be pushed to initialize the system, but the preferred method is to use the HMC if you are starting
logical partitions. Progress indicators, also referred to as checkpoints, are visible on the operator panel
display as the system power is turned on. The power LED on the base system stops blinking and stays
on, indicating that the system power is on.

The base system and I/O subsystems are powered on through the system power control network
(SPCN). When power is applied, the power LEDs on the base system go from blinking to continuous,
and the power LEDs on the I/O subsystems come on and stay on. This situation indicates that power
levels are satisfactory in the subsystems.
