4.1 Basic Operation and Shutdown
If you have not yet installed and booted the workstation, see Chapters 2 and 3.
For a description of the startup environment, see Section 3.3.
The IRIS workstation boots into single-user mode, which should be used only

multi-user mode, as described in Section 3.3. Section 4.2 explains how to
configure the workstation to boot into multi-user mode automatically.
