Chapter 1 Starting the System System startup refers to the procedure for starting the computer operating system and other programs. It does not refer to physically installing the hardware, loading the fundamental operating system (FOS), or to turning on the power to the computer, disk drives, tape drives, printers, or the system console. (Normally, computer hardware remains powered on.) As the system manager, you need to know when to start the system and when and why to shut it down. In general, you are not the person who performs the actual procedures. In this chapter, you can find the following topics: * deciding when to start the system * saving main memory to tape * changing to a different version of the operating system * using initial system loader (ISL) commands * using the standalone initial system loader (ISL) utilities * enabling the access port (AP)
