2.1.4.1 Installing the HP-7xx Interface
Before installing one or more ISA cards, a sequence of steps must be followed to shut
down your system. If you are using HP VUE, carry out the first four steps of
Section 2.1.4.1.1, "HP VUE Shut-Down." If you are using the HP-UX command line
shell, carry out the first four steps of Section 2.1.4.1.2, "HP-UX Command Line Shell
Shut-Down."
To shut down your computer you must first be logged in as “root”. Save all open files
before shutting down, and always follow the proper shutdown procedure before turning
off the power to your workstation. Failure to do so could cause damage to files.
Note:
“hostname#” represents the system prompt; that is, it is not to be entered as part
