After a few minutes, you are prompted to confirm the date and time. If you do not respond within 15 seconds, the system accepts the displayed date and time by default and continues with the startup process. If the date and time are not correct, respond accordingly. Enter the time in 24-hour format (for example, 5:00 pm is entered as 17:00).

 | NOTE:
Do not be alarmed if you inadvertently miss the system's time-out to change the date and time. You will be given another opportunity to change the date and time when you reboot the system.

Your system will display some warning messages on the console telling you that unconfigured devices are attached to your system.
Do not be concerned. These messages are normal during your first boot up. They appear during the first bootup because you have not completed your final configuration.
When the system is ready for you to proceed, a system prompt appears. The typical prompt at this point is the colon (:). At this point, you are automatically logged on to the system as OPERATOR.SYS and can begin performing system management tasks such as configuration and creating user accounts.
