Starting up Meridian Mail
Introduction
To start Meridian Mail, follow these steps.
Note: If any problems occur during start-up, see Chapter 16,
“Troubleshooting startup problems.”
Starting up Meridian
Mail
Step Action
1 Power on the administration terminal, printer, and other
peripheral devices.
2 On the administration terminal, press Ctrl and Print Screen at
the same time to turn on automatic printing. Note that the Print
Screen key may be labeled differently on your keyboard.
The word “Aut” appears at the bottom of the terminal screen to
indicate that automatic printing is turned on. The automatic
printing allows you to capture a printout of the bootup
messages when you power on the Meridian Mail system. The
bootup messages that should appear are outlined in Chapter
16, “Troubleshooting startup problems.” If you encounter a
problem starting up the Meridian Mail system, you can compare
the bootup messages that appeared on your system to the
proper messages described in Chapter 16.
3 Before you power up the Meridian Mail system, look at “Start-
up Meridian Mail—behavior of LED indicators” on page 13-4,
and be prepared to verify the proper behavior of the LEDs that
are visible at the front of each module. Be prepared to observe
the hexadecimal display on the front of the Enhanced MMP40
board (see “Hexadecimal display on the Enhanced MMP40
board” on page 13-5).
4 Power up the Meridian Mail system by setting the main breaker
switch for each column to ON, and shelf breakers or DCEPS
switches to ON.
If this system has more than one Meridian Mail module, power
on module MM0, followed by module MM1, then module MM2.
In an AC system, switch on the upper breaker in each module
before the lower breaker. In a DC system, switch on the left
DCEPS in each module before the right one.
As part of the bootup process, the administrator’s terminal
displays a series of diagnostic and information messages.
