4. The first boot takes approximately 5 minutes due to the initial power characterization test. Any subsequent
boot of the system takes approximately 2 minutes. The power characterization test displays the message
Performing Platform Characterization … when running.
5. If the power characterization test runs on subsequent bootups, causing a lag in the boot time, it is important
that you disable it. It is especially important to disable the test in a clustered environment to avoid issues. See
the Appendix 1: Troubleshooting, page 19 section for more information.
