Restarting after a complete shutdown


Once the UPS is running, and everything is plugged in and turned on in the UPS
room (except the white breaker and RA+DEC enable switches which could wait until
later), go up to the dome:

  - turn on the red main power button (upper right on the telescope console)

  - turn on the telescope power (lower right on the telescope console); you 
      should hear the filter wheel repositioning)

  - turn on the 4kccd power switch and the controller switch (gray box
    mounted on the N side of the guider box)

  - turn on the the power switch to the guider/filter boxes (on SW corner of
    guider box)

  - turn on shutter box (gray box mounted on NW corner of the guider box)

  - turn on CCD guider/controller (blue box mounted on the S side of the
    guider box) and the CCD guider cooler (black box located at the SW
    corner of the guider box)
    

In the warm room:

 Plug in and turn on the computers:

    - turn on the TCS computer (green switch just inside the black cover on the
        right side of the telescope console)

    - turn on the NBS switch (top right of the telescope console)

    - plug in the two power cords for kuiper and its monitors in the second 
      pair of orange outlets, and push the button to start kuiper rebooting

    - plug in the black and white twistlock connector for the printer in the 
      "dirty power" outlet

    - plug in the gray power cord for the bigccd power strip and turn on
      the power strip

    - plug in, turn on, and boot bigag

 Logon and get started:

  - log on to the TCS computer; hit <Enter> for the password; when you get the
    windows desktop, double click on "TCS150" icon; hit <Enter> once or twice 
    until the TCS program is running

  - start the Telcom server on bigag (Telcom150 icon on the computer desktop);
    when the Telcom window comes up, you can type <backspace> - if it's
    working, you can see the data stream from the telescope.

      The Telcom Server allows bigccd to access the telescope information, so
      that it can go in the image headers.  The Telcom Server needs three things
      in order to work: 
         1) internet connection - the cable with phone-type connectors 
            from the back of the bigag computer to the DHCP connection on the 
            wall behind bigag
         2) TCS must be running
         3) TCS connector (gray 9-pin connector connected to a thin gray cable
            that snakes off towards the TCS behind all the other computers) must 
            be plugged into the back of bigag just below where the small round 
            purple connection to the keyboard plugs in.

  - log on to kuiper (see the kuiper login instruction pages), and make sure 
    that the dataserver, galilserver, and filter wheel processes are all running 
    properly 

  - start up the BigGuider autoguider system by clicking on the "Start
    BigGuider" icon on the bigag desktop.

  - press the button on the front of the bigccd computer to start it
    rebooting;  AZCamServer should start automatically.  Once AZCamServer is
    going with no complaints, double-click on the AZCamTool icon at the top right;
    this should do a ccd reset (if the 4kccd power switch and controller are
    turned on) and will then be ready to use.

    Check the time on bigccd; this should be the time from the GPS server, but
    after a cold start, it won't have had time to synchronize.  Double click on
    the digital clock in the lower left corner, and compare the time with the
    time on the NBS clock.  If detectably different, click "OK" to close the time
    window.  Right-click on the tiny yellow rectangle-on-a-stand to the left of 
    the digital clock (you might need to click first on the < to show hidden 
    icons), then click on "properties" at the bottom, and then on "Sync" at
    the top middle.  Click "Close" to get out (NOT "Exit"!), and recheck the
    synchronization of the digital clock with the NBS, which should be good to
    better than one second.
